There’s a thing that happens, a kind of familiar experience, when you get a hold of a good book. Something about the weight of it, the materials in your hands, feels good- even before you’ve cracked it open. Anthony Hernandez’s new book of photographs, Beach Pictures, 1969-70, published by Silas Finch, has just afforded me this rewarding experience.
