Stephen Shore

Stephen Shore was interested in photography at a very early age. He got his first darkroom kit at the age of six!! He began using a 35mm camera and making color photographs by the age of ten. This is the same time that he received a copy of Walker Evan's book, American Photographs. He began his career at fourteen. He was the first living photographer to have a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and he was only twenty-four. Shore's photography from that point on included images from cross-country trips. I enjoy his photography because it reminds me of places I see when I drive around, though they may be in different cities.
