For a photographer, illustration a deluxe edition of Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" is a sweet gig. Limited Editions of New York asked Edward Weston to do just that in 1941, so Weston and his wife took a cross-country trip in a Ford nicknamed "Walt." "Edward Weston: Leaves of Grass" displays the photographs. - Milva DiDomizio, Globe Staff

If you were to pick someone whose poetry had an affinity with the photography of Edward Weston would it be Walt Whitman? “Leaves of Grass” is operatic, sweeping and shaggy, a work of “terrible eyes and buffalo strength,” as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it.
