Jim Goldberg - Coming and Going

ESSAY: A deep dive into Jim Goldbergs book "Coming and Going", and the impact of storytelling and personal narrative in an age of machines and algorithms

Dear friends,

Today we are taking a deep dive together into one of my favorite photobooks in recent times, "Coming and Going" by photographer Jim Goldberg.

This book, just like "Raised by Wolves," sets the bar for a radically subjective documentary approach and forms a narrative not only in pictures but using collages, video stills, ephemera, and texts to take you on a journey of life itself through the authorship of this great photographer.

This book left a deep mark on the way I approach photography and filmmaking, and it's a true testament to the power of radically personal storytelling in an age where everything gets washed down by slop and streamlined aesthetics.

I hope you enjoy the dive as much as I did.

Love, Ramon
