Soth walks through five chapters: intuition, photographic language, emotional motivation, Szarkowski's mirrors-and-windows framework, and equipment choices. Each chapter draws on images from Sleeping by the Mississippi, NIAGARA, Broken Manual, Songbook, and Dog Days, Bogota. The workbook stresses authentic subject matter and the discipline of large-format photography.
