Masters of Photography: Stephen Shore

 Every now and then we have been sharing an "Employee Photo of the Week" to show off the talents of the crew here at Unique Photo.  However in a recent meeting I decided that it would be beneficial to our viewers to show the work of "Master Photographers" who have been very successful in one of more genres of photography.  This week I have chosen fine-artist Stephen Shore who has been one of my favorite photographers and biggest inspirations over the course of my brief time in the medium.  In fact Stephen Shore had a show at the MoMA at age 24, which was only the 2nd time in history that a living photographer was given a solo show at the MoMa.  Being 24 years old myself, this really put things in perspective for me.  That being said, the bizarre, deadpan, sterile world (Presidio, Texas is actually one of his more tame images) Stephen Shore show in his images, makes me want to go on another road trip like I did in November. Check back next week for another image from a Master of Photography. -MZ
