You are not Stephen Shore

michaeldavidfriberg:

I think i’m going to start a tumblr called “You are not Stephen Shore” where I call out photographers shooting boring 6x7 photos of old cars and crap. STEPHEN SHORE WAS SHOOTING NEW CARS!!!!!!!! 

think about what that photography looked like when it actually came out, like, before you were born dude!

I was just thinking of this weird logic today! I was downtown shooting a photo of the street and moved the camera up to remove the cars from the viewfinder when it dawned on me: the point of this is so I can look back on it LATER and remember what it was like NOW. Not try to make it seem like it was the 1970s in 2012.
