Here to discover is a breadth of visual style and approach, varied in form, unified by a singular sensibility. Gossage’s initial impetus for the book was his realization that Meeks had “made some of the most stylistically various single pictures that I had ever seen in a serious photographer’s work.” Meeks then agreed to supply his pictures, from which Gossage made his edit and created a new context for them to be seen one at a time. And so was born, in Gossage’s words, this commonplace book “of remarkable things, pictures that are as rich individually as they are in the narrative of Ray’s books, but in a different way. They stand as convincing in a style of variation with certainty, always having the feel and thought of a single author.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50612475592761,"sku":"1-0186","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/ACommonplaceBookRealm.jpg?v=1790788498","url":"https:\/\/www.realmbooks.co\/products\/a-commonplace-book-by-raymond-meeks","provider":"Realm Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
