Re: Literature on enhancing/enlarging images

The American poet Vachel Lindsay's book on cinema is one possibility.
Here's the link:

and a quote:

Chapter XI—Architecture-in-Motion, being a continuation of the argument
about the Splendor Pictures, in chapters five, six, and seven. This is an
element constantly re-illustrated in a magnificent but fragmentary way by
the News Films. Any picture of a seagull flying so close to the camera that
it becomes as large as a flying machine, or any flying machine made by man
and photographed in epic flight captures the eye because it is architecture
and in motion, motion which is the mysterious fourth dimension of its grace
and glory. So likewise, and in kind, any picture of a tossing ship. The
most superb example of architecture-in-motion in the commercial history of
the films is the march of the moving war-towers against the walls of
Babylon in Griffith's Intolerance. But Griffith is the only person so far
who has known how to put a fighting soul into a moving tower.
