More Than One Way To Keep A Photo Journal

I've gone a bit uber meta for today's shot - as this is a photo of a photo journal posted on a photo journal!
My brother was given this journal a few years ago so that he could stick some photos into it and record information such as the location, the date, any comments, the shutter speed, iso and film stock (remember that!) - in other words an analogue version of blip! He hasn't used it since he started using a digital camera but he says he might take it up again as a retro based fun project at some point in the future.
The image in the background is actually a glimpse of the front cover of one my brother's favourite photography books - American Prospects by Joel Sternfeld. It was first published in 1987 to great critical acclaim and is said to have changed the course of photographic representation.
It was recently reprinted and this allows a deeper look into the surprising ways his images represent the tradition of landscape depiction. He used an 8 x 10 view camera to render detail as precisely as possible.
He started taking the photographs in 1978, when colour photography was still in its infancy as a fine art medium. He set out to navigate America's challenging landscape, the images it held were, to a considerable extent, unexplored.
He has stated that it was the urge "of someone who grew up with a vision of classical regional America and the order it seemed to contain, to find beauty and harmony in an increasingly uniform, technological and disturbing America". They really are such extraordinary images. If you get the chance and I would urge you to try and find them online.
