TRANSPARENCIES/ SMALL CAMERA WORKS 1971

Transparencies... offers an alternative account of one of the most fabled episodes in photographic history: the cross-country journe ys that produced Stephen Shores luminous new vision of the American landscape, Uncommon Places. Along with his large-format camera, Shore also brought a 35mm Leica on his travels. The images made with it, on luminous colour slide film, are intimate, spontaneous a nd personal, while retaining Shores studied formal sensitivity.
