Samuel Lawson Mingo –
I totally love the visual ethnographic method and Pink is one of the handful of experts writing about those methods. I think the thing that makes Pinks work stand out from the other authors is that she takes on a holistic approach to her research, where she is informed by sensory experiences (which she also has dedicated methods books on). Taking on ethics of research is presented in a very human way also, where Pink writes the investigator should treat the person being interviewed as a collaborator in the process, and not just someone to gather data from. As I’m Indigenous American, that really resonated with me. I got the hard bound book, which was expensive, but her other hard bound editions have not dropped in price either. It was important to me to make sure I got something that would last, as this is going to be the bible from which I draw inspiration for work in the field, and I’ll be sure to tear up a paperback copy over time.This is indeed a methods (little bit of theory) book, but it is by no means a technical manual. Think of this book as a lifestyle guide for doing visual ethnography in a balanced and respectful human way, as opposed to the cold hard research methods in other scientific endeavors. We are human beings that are collecting the stories of other human beings, and presenting that to other human beings. We just so happen to standardize the language and methods so everyone can be on the same page. Right? lol. Just get the book 😛
