About this title

Synopsis

This is a hardcover volume with white cloth boards and a pictorial dust jacket. Stephen Shore followed up his first volume of photographs, American Surfaces, for which he traveled the United States, with an even more expansive and in-depth exploration of the North American way of life in "Uncommon Places." Shore traveled much more extensively during the period of 1973 to 1979, from which these images are culled. The other main difference is that Shore had moved into large-format imagery at this point, hauling around an 8x10 view camera on his journey. This expanded edition from 2004 includes more than 60 previously unpublished images and an interview with Shore by Lynne Tillman.
