Alright, /p/. Last Friday we actually had a pretty decent discussion about ::gasp:: photography. We looked at a portrait of Queen Elizabeth by Annie Leibovitz. We discussed it in relation to her other work, and we even looked at it in comparison to another portrait of the queen by a very, very different photographer.

This week, let's change gears drastically. Let's look at a famous photograph by Stephen Shore, "Sambo's," from his Uncommon Places series.

What do you think of it? Do you love it? Do you hate it?

Most importantly, why do you love it? Why do you hate it? What technical elements do you enjoy? What technical elements do you hate? What are your thoughts on the content? What about the composition? What do you think of the lighting/decision to shoot at this time of day? What about the development/printing?

Now, maybe you hate Stephen Shore. Maybe you love him. That's not what this thread is about. If you want to discuss this photo compared to other work of his, that's certainly acceptable, but this is not a thread for generalized love/bashing. Let's actually discussion, you know, the photograph.

And, as always, ignore the trolls. Y'all did great with that last week. Let's keep it up.
