Additional Details

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."
