Smog in LA, c. 1949

Contributors

1/26/20  revisiting the reinvention of the fieldnote again, as I sit and read shit on the internet i.e. do fieldwork, in this case a book on GooglePlay, Smogtown, which is pretty pop pop history. I'm trying to work on the photo essay but keep getting pulled off into context, like the interactions between Arie Haagen-Smit and SRI, and how the "SRI hatchet job" galvanizes him from plant hormones into air pollution research

not clear to me how to best work with this stuff in PECE, when i don't want to get bogged down in the metadata-weeds like making that into an artefact, author, title, sourcing it, etc etc
