Where did the author ever get the idea that his movie could be successfully translated into a book of still shots? This book fails on every level except one:
Its one success is that it is a completely innocent book --truely candid. But only one photo in it, a picture of an Afro-American girl smiling at the cameraman, is worthy of the book's high aspirations. Some other shots, which would have succeeded otherwise, are just too diminished by the blurriness that characterizes the entire book. Compositionally, most of the photos are no better than throw-away snapshots. They certainly aren't doing their subjects justice. Kash, as a beachcomber, is a fraud. He hasn't spent enough time at the beach, or else he got his brains baked as a kid and is too fried to take the time it takes in the sun to amass a portifolio of good still shots.
