An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar by Taryn Simon

4.0

An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar was exactly what it promised it was going to be. I was thoroughly impressed by some of the shots, the locations, and the stories. I didn't love Simon's composition or editing though: it was very 2006, with too many underexposed sections and sometimes not enough framing for me to enjoy it. Overall, an 8/10, a book I can definitely reference when trying to write about Weird America.
