Color - Week 3. Stephen Shore

This was the first photograph of Stephen Shore's that really caught my attention, and I guess that is because this photograph reminds me of my favorite Todd Hido photograph. I instantly fell in love with the muted colors, and how the same brown/earth tone flows throughout the entire image. I also really enjoy how the legs and shoes lead my eyes into the photograph to see the blue on the television screen, and the blue in the jeans. I also really like how you cannot see any information from outside of the window, that there is only light shining through.

This definitely has to be my second favorite Stephen Shore photograph. The way he can have several colors flow throughout a photograph in a pleasing way is incredible. I absolutely love how the green of the car is seen throughout the image (on the sign, corn, and boxes), and I also really enjoy how the red is seen throughout the photograph as well as the yellow/orange (boxes, building, door, truck, and onions). I think the way he left the doors of the vehicles and the building open adds a lot to the photograph as well, and makes the photograph more interesting. The way the doors are open adds mystery to the image overall.

This is the image I chose of Stephen Shore's that I didn't find as interesting as the others. This is an average image, sure it's not horrible, but I have seen images like this before, there isn't anything spectacular about it. The atmospheric perspective is nice, but there is nothing that makes me excited about this image.
