According to Amy Conger, by early 1953, Brett was printing images several times a week. This particular photograph is one of these Project Prints made during the 1950s. Although his father was not able to sign all of the images that were finally mounted and spotted, both Brett and Cole stated that he supervised the quality of the images produced.

The Thinker

Bromide print

Photo Synthesis
Colin Westerbeck
 
When I asked L.A. collector Dennis Reed to show me work by Japanese American photographers from the 1920s and '30s in which he specializes, this Hiromu Kira bromide print was among his choices. Bromide was a favorite process of the Pictorialist movement then waning in the camera clubs to which amateurs such as Kira belonged.
 
Yet this photograph is strikingly modern or Moderne in style. One day when a customer at the photographic emporium where Kira worked bought a costly view camera, the store's owner asked Kira to demonstrate it for the man. The picture Kira made, at the new Hollywood Dam, is existential in effect. Sitting amid this swoosh of concrete, the slumped customer looks as if he were waiting for Godot. The abstractness of the setting makes it seem like a time warp in which the hapless subject, also of Japanese descent, is trapped.
 
But history was what he and Kira would both be trapped in when World War II broke out. "Sadly," Reed says of such photographers, "during the hysteria that followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the subsequent relocation of Japanese Americans, most of their work was lost or destroyed."

In 1936, there was a single, extraordinary, outdoor 'sitting' when Charis Wilson, Edward Weston's favorite model, accompanied him on an outing to the Oceano shore. She expected only to watch and assist as he continued the great series of dune landscapes, but enchanted by the beach's silence and beauty, took off her clothes and 'went diving down a steep slope.' Weston turned away from his landscape and instead made a series of ten images of Charis on the sand. In this, perhaps his most successful series of nude studies, Weston elimatinates all extraneous detail, including shadows - there is a mere silvery halo around a perfect, virtually translucent body that appears to float over the lightly textured ground. The figure is relaxed, self-contained, unselfconscious and therefore quite extraordinarily sensual.
