The photographer Alec Soth has often invited viewers into his process, but, perhaps because it involves obsession, “A Pound of Pictures” is more revealing than his earlier books.
The results can seem random, but in the best way, and this serendipitous approach has become Soth’s signature. It’s also, for better but more often for worse, the most obvious mark of his influence upon the photo world. Gathering forty or fifty images—portraits, landscapes, still-lifes, interior views—in a loose, allusive sequence has become the default position of most contemporary storytelling photographers. But it’s not as easy as it might seem.
He meets a couple in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania, with a stash of half a million photographs and is sorry to note that “After a full day at their dining room table, I only made it through forty thousand.” Five images are reproduced in their actual size and slipped between random pages in the book.
