Synopsis: Great photographs change the way we see the world; The Ongoing Moment changes the way we look at both. Focusing on the ways in which canonical figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Andréeacute; Kertész, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, and William Eggleston have photographed the same things-barber shops, benches, hands, roads, signs-award-winning writer Geoff Dyer seeks to identify their signature styles. In doing so, he constructs a narrative in which these photographers-many of whom never met–constantly encounter one another. The result is a kaleidoscopic work of extraordinary originality and insight.
