Synopsis
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, 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.”

About the Author
Born in Ohio in 1963 and today based in the Hudson Valley, New York, Raymond Meeks’ photographs and books center on memory and place, how landscape shapes us even in its absence, and how the circular moments and events of life unravel and overlap, creating new meanings. Meeks is the sixth laureate of Immersion, a French-American photography commission sponsored by Fondation d’entreprise Hermès; exhibitions from this commission were shown at the International Center of Photography, New York, and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris. Meeks’ books include The Inhabitants (2023) with writer George Weld, and he is the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Photography and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.
