This thoughtful little book, only 6 x 8 inches, doesn’t belong on the coffee table; it belongs in a purse or a pocket where it can be picked up for a quick read in between subway stops. Enthusiasts and casual shutterbugs alike will appreciate essays like A Young Man With an Eye, and Friends Up a Tree on Ryan McGinley’s work, or Gefter’s thoughts on Philip-Lorca DiCorcia in The Theater of the Street, the Subject of the Photograph.
