[800/1,200]
Each book in this series includes a variant number of images (one volume contains only a single
image), evoking the singular moments of everyday life Graham photographed across America, from
a man mowing a lawn in brilliant light-filled rain, to a woman eating takeout on a bench, to a man
smoking outside, seemingly lost in thought.“Perhaps instead of standing at the river’s edge scooping
out water,” Graham said,“it’s better to be in the current itself, to watch how the river comes up to
you, flows smoothly around your presence, and reforms on the other side like you were never there.”
