at any rate, szarkowski’s book on him (”the photographer at work”) might be of interest as well, as there doesn’t seem to be a ton of resources out there discussing photographers’ working methods at length.

See Poore (esp the full text) for a fair bit on this topic. If the subject is a person, you can push it the farthest. The tiniest human figure will always trump the most magnificent landscape or architecture. Your eye can't help it, it's drawn *ZIP* right to the human. We're wired for it by evolution, I'd wager.
