Stephen Shore��s Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography is an experimental new memoir from one of the world��s most prolific artists �� an impressionistic scrapbook that documents the rich and surprising touchstones that make up over half a century of ground-breaking work. With essays, photographs, stories, and excerpts that draw on Shore��s decades of teaching, this is an essential handbook for anyone interested in learning more about mastering one��s craft and the distinct threads that come together to inform a creative voice. As much as offering meditation on the influences of a single artist, Modern Instances proposes a new way of thinking about the world around us, in which even the smallest moment can become a source of boundless inspiration �� if only we pay attention.
