A few months ago I saw some of Stephen Shore‘s photography in Aesthetica Magazine. I loved it immediately – the captures of seemingly ordinary moments in time, the still lifes, the feel of a road trip.

This shot of his wife Ginger Shore was the first time I was exposed to Stephen’s work. It was included in Daily Poetry, a graphic design project by Clara Fernández (credited as “Stephen Short”) that’s full of layouts that I love. After the Aesthetica piece, I had to take a look at more of Stephen’s work. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
