From American Prospect by Joel Sternfeld:

The landmark book was first published in 1987 and it was a photographic tour of America made by large format color "street" work. Sternfeld’s text represented a break with painterly notions of the Picturesque and the Sublime; his image is flat, average and are not meant to be metaphoric equivalents of anything else. Nor are they mirrors on reality as the presence of the author is strong, as is the interpretation of the landscape.
