July 2024 Theme of the month. In the style of Stephen Shore

[zx9]

When dans gave me the pleasure of picking this month's theme I had a couple of composition ideas and a style theme. Some ten plus years ago someone (ex AP forum) pointed out that a lot of my Greek holiday snaps were 'very Shore like' which pushed me to look into the American New Topographic trend of the late '70's through to present day.

 Over the years Shore's style moved through open vista road trip to isolated urban detail, now in retirement he can be found photographing plants in his garden but always with a very simple uncluttered layout.

For those who are unsure here is a link from all about photography www.all-about-photo.com/photographers/photographer/1282/stephen-shore and for current works here is his instagram www.instagram.com/stephen.shore/?hl=en

I guess it is a bit of an open door in that you can pick your favourite subject and apply the Shore style.

To Start things off here is one of my Lindisfarne shots.

And a couple of Greek island shots that provoked the original interest.

Did you look at his Instagram? Plenty of unexpected recent images as well as retrospective ones, there should be something for everyone.

Crap picture of roses, over 1000 likes. What's the reverse of imposter syndrome?

Anyway, I'm sure I can manage something this month.

He did end up using 10X8 Ektachrome, you and I can not compete with our small formats.

Are you trying to make me hate him? Lol.

I feel this one may be more Eggleston than Shore but I couldn't not photograph it once I had seen it.
