Stephen Shore


This photo by Stephen Shore grabs me. I love the way that the light is bleeding through the clouds, and how it shines on the buildings. The angle is well chosen and gives you a great view of the corner. While everything in the scene looks old, this photo could have been taken yesterday and I would believe you. Its crisp, has no artifacts, and is overall just a great image. 

Stephen shore favorite photo

       This is my favorite Stephen Shore image because of the simplicity of the image and the wester feel that the image has to it. The landscape that the image captures is quite interesting with the large cactus in along with the phone box. I like how the western feel is very evident in it with all the brown in the background and the car that is just sticking out of in the end of the photo. This photo to me just shows the western feel that is very stereotypical and this is what it makes me think of. Although the image is quite simple it makes it a pleasant image to look at with all the different lines going in different directions which is interesting to follow.
