Weber, we come to see, experiences the world as his own personal jewel-mine. He scavenges it for the choicest raw materials, then cuts and sets and polishes them until they shine with a luminousness only attainable through masterful craft. Simultaenously being a photographer, his god-like role extends even further: he doesn’t just create the world, he also presents it, selecting and cropping and editing it into one supreme final image.
