Stephen Shore was born in New York City in 1947. Starting at the early age of six Shore became interested in photography.

Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words):
My personal reaction is that the man had a lot of good photographs for his style of photography. However his style of photography isn’t too artistic and shows very little emotion. If the emotions are shown portray a cold and bitter heart that the man had. Weather or not this was true or not isn’t for me to say. All that I’m saying is that his pictures speak those words. He gives an aura of a monk in search of something. I respect his view however in that he was true to his style of photography.
