A Commonplace Book presents photographs by Raymond Meeks selected by John Gossage—a photographer who has been an enduring influence for Meeks, inspiring his approach and use of the camera to construct a picture untethered from sequence or narrative continuity. Here to discover is a breadth of visual style and approach, varied in form yet unified by a singular sensibility. Gossage’s initial impetus 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 supplied his pictures, from which Gossage made his edit and created a new context for them to be seen one at a time—“of remarkable things, pictures that are as rich individually as they are in the narrative of Ray’s books, but in a different way.”
