2026 Book 1: Among The Ruins- Arnold Genthe’s photographs of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. Yeah, it’s a picture book, but I read all the expository text- a bio, timeline of events, and interesting info about the whereabouts of his collection, its decrepit state, and the preservation efforts undertaken to bring this to print. Overall, interesting to me in a specific way because 1. I was born and raised there, and 2. I’m still in the midst of a huge photo scanning and presentation project. The prints themselves are very nicely presented if perhaps a bit dark in the shadow detail. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
