  <default_description>Great photographs change the way we see the world; &lt;i&gt;The Ongoing Moment&lt;/i&gt; changes the way we look at both. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Focusing on the ways in which canonical figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Andr&#233; Kert&#233;sz, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, and William Eggleston have photographed the same things&amp;#8212;barber shops, benches, hands, roads, signs&amp;#8211;award-winning writer Geoff Dyer seeks to identify their signature styles. In doing so, he constructs a narrative in which these photographers&amp;#8211;many of whom never met&amp;#8211;constantly encounter one another.  The result is a kaleidoscopic work of extraordinary originality and insight.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[One of those books that makes nothing into a nice visual ride of the commonalities between photographers. I liked it though I get wary of these books about whatever written by people who have the &quot;virtue&quot; (as they see it) of writing books on subjects that they don't actually do. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An interesting history and analysis of 20th century photography that revels in its anti traditional art history point of view in favor of intuitive connections between photographs that butt up against the photographers' personal histories. Fascinating.]]></body>
