= Parr/ Badger, p.130: "His work consisted mainly of portraits, but whereas [August] Sander was careful to photograph his subjects in their social settings, Lerski used the studio, and focused entirely on the head, effectively de-socializing them.

They followed the staightest path possible toward their destination, crossing neighbourhoods, expressways and cemeteries. The walk took 11 1/2 hours. Adams and Malone shot photographs along their destination according to an agreement to produce an undetermined number of paired images: one 35 mm camera was shared with the understanding that either person could take a photo of their own choice at any time during the walk. Who shot the photograph handed the camera to the other person, who then shot a second photo in exactly the opposite direction, with no attention to subject selection, framing, or adjustments in aperture and focus (...)"

But many of his classic images are included in this seminal photobook, and the essential qualities of Sander's vision can be seen.
