Untethered from sequence or narrative, Gossage's image selection unveils a breadth of visual style and approach, varied in form but unified by Meeks' 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.\" And so was born, in Gossage's words, this 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783969995259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120","brand":"Raymond Meeks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750306214069,"sku":"9783969995259","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/raymond-meeks-a-commonplace-book-9783969995259","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
