Words of wisdom
Every once in a while all of us need some advice in life…or photography!
Here is one…no, not Mother Mary speaking words of wisdom… but Mr. Stephen Shore himself. Addressed to all (aspiring) photographers, this letter is definitely worth reading and to recall whenever you pick up your camera our just think about it.
This letter is part of Stephen Shore’s book “The nature of photographs”, originating in the courses that he taught at Bard College for many years. Shore covers all eras of photography – from classic to modern and contemporary photographers like Bernd and Hilla Becher or Mr. Gursky. Fine art, Streetart photography, documentary photography…Shore seemingly deals with everything photography can over. How to look at the world, how to view what is surrounding you….Stephen Shore is teaching you all this.
