Stephen Shore's Teenage New York Photos: A Lesson in Hindsight for the Master of American Still Life
"I remember none of it!" Stephen Shore's new book revisits his teenage photographs of New York.
Renowned photographer and master of American still life, Stephen Shore, has released a new book titled "More" which features his early photographs of New York City. However, in a recent interview, Shore expressed amazement at the images, stating "I remember none of it!"
Shore, who took the photos as a teenager, described the experience as almost "out-of-body" and admits to only remembering a few of the images captured. This revelation has raised questions about the authenticity and intention behind the photographs.
The book and Shore's reflections have sparked controversy within the photography community, with some questioning the validity of the images and suggesting that they may have been staged or manipulated.
When asked about the potential controversy, Shore simply stated, "I don't know what to say about that." His response, or lack thereof, only adds to the intrigue surrounding the book and its images.
Whether intentional or not, Shore's teenage photographs of New York provide a unique insight into the mind of a master photographer and the development of his iconic style. And with Shore's lack of recollection, the images leave viewers to draw their own conclusions and interpretations.
