Stephen Shore is one of the most important photographers of the twentieth century. A pioneer of color photography, his photographs of everyday American scenes paved the way for future art photographers such as Martin Parr, Nan Goldin, and Thomas Struth. This special, highly collectible, limited-edition book—numbered and signed by the photographer—is a complete reproduction of the journal Shore kept during a month-long road trip across America in 1973, during which he began work on his influential project Uncommon Places.
In the journal *Shore*, he included his own photographs, lists detailing information about his travels—such as where he stayed, what he ate, and how many miles he drove—as well as various ephemera like receipts and postcards. Each page of the journal is reproduced alongside a section of plates featuring every photograph he took on his journey, providing a complete account of the journey at this pivotal moment in his career. The book also includes a set of postcards—reproductions of cards that Shore himself created and distributed during his journey—making this an essential title for any collector, photography enthusiast, or student.
