Silver and Information

Smith Bruce

The title of "Silver and Information" comes from a photographer's statement, "My work is becoming more and more and more silver and less and less information". This book swings between the poles of aboriginal working-class Philadelphia, where a father maps the economies and grievances of a generation, and the more silvery, reflective, and incandescent meditations on the lapsed world.
