For whatever if anything it might be worth, I would recommend Beil’s book if you find the ideas in the article interesting.

For whatever if anything it might be worth, I would recommend Beil’s book if you find the ideas in the article interesting. I mean the American Method is still running round in photographic circles as obsession with corner sharpness as a marker of self seriousness…and that’s where the book starts. If I had an unmet need, it is the entirety American focus of the book leaves me a bit blind to the bigger picture. What was it like, I wonder, in Japan? But then again, good books should raise new questions because new questions are the mark of learning. Beil’s book certainly feels like a potentially “important book” on US photographic history to me. YMMV.
