This is the first monograph on Kansas City photographer Feinstein, whose rich imagery-in which children are the principal characters-shows a rare maturity deserving of attention on a national level. She displays an uncanny knack of recording the absurdity and joy of childhood without patronizing her willing but unwitting subjects. The triumvirate of dirt, water and sunlight also figures prominently in this symbology of summer innocence. A deep-seated understanding of shadows-both literally and metaphorically-informs the work.
