Stephen Shore

Another Photographer whose work I admire is Stephen Shore.  As a self-taught photographer, Shore received his first 35mm camera at age 9 and has been taking pictures ever since.  Shore is well-known for being an influential photographer in the movement of color photographs acceptance into the art world.  His book Uncommon Places explains his love and appreciation for color photography.  A series of Shore that I am familiar with his The Biographical Landscape series.  This series includes 164 color prints that were taken on a cross-country roadtrip in the 1970's.  I will include a few of these photos in the next few posts.
