Stephen Shore's Lifelong Obsession with the Ordinary

From 1972-1979, a 30-something Stephen Shore traversed the United States by road, stopping along the way to set up his tripod and 8x10 camera. When he got tired over long drives, he recited Shakespeare to himself, often adopting the role of Hamlet as he made his way from one in-between place—a parking lot, a crossroads—to the next.
