Title: awfully written
Product review: The text for this small book is so atrociously written and subtly racist that I'm tempted to throw it away. Ian Jeffrey's commentary ranges from inane: "The glove signifies [a] hand"; to racist--the only word Jeffrey knows to characterize Japanese faces seems to be "diffident", counted at least 3 times; to just plain wrong: in "Handicapped Soldiers" Jeffrey notes two figures aware of the photographer's presence when clearly THREE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE CAMERA! So much for helping improve public visual literacy. This is a brilliant opportunity to provide concise, critical commentary on Tomatsu's work squandered.
