Journeying back and forth across North America, photographer Stephen Shore seizes upon a landscape of the commonplace—and transforms it into a vision of beauty. These are scenes that scarcely attract the attention of most: an unpaved backstreet in Presidio, Texas; a nearly abandoned beach in Miami; children playing on a sandbar in Yosemite; a softball game in Bozeman, Montana. Experiences of light and color unsurpassed for their subtly and resonance, Shore’s images are something more: the nondescript awakens perception and inspires contemplation.
