book recommendation


Uncommon Places
by Stephen Shore

Street photography with a view camera. An 8x10 view camera at that. And color. Glorious color. These pictures made their first appearance in the mid 1970s. Large format photography was largely black and white (Eliot Porter not withstanding) at that time. Shooting color was pretty radical. This book has been a major influence on many photographers including yrs trly. Wonderful stuff.
