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\n\u003cp\u003eCo-published with The Agency, Hudson Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e120 pages, 59 images\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClothbound hardcover with dust jacket\u003cbr\u003e24.5 x 31.3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 978-3-96999-525-9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Agency \/ Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50963344818428,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/7908\/2645\/files\/DSCF9654_1ee36625-b7d4-42d3-b79a-bdb3997566d2.jpg?v=1786379597","url":"https:\/\/baltimorephotospace.com\/products\/raymond-meeks-a-commonplace-book","provider":"Baltimore Photo Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
