Beautiful March 6, 2002

The postcards is this boxed set are truly beautiful. Technically, the collection is superb. They are larger than the usual postcard, and the quality of the printing is excellent. As art, the photos are striking and memorable. The portraits are designd to appeal to well-off white people, however. The ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes are exotic; the white North Americans are all decidedly strange-looking. This bothered me a little bit. After all, if a subsistence-level farmer is interesting enough to be photographed objectively, why isn't a typical worker with a typical job in America or Europe? Still, the photos really are interesting.
