Stephen Shore

I don't necessarily think that this is a unsuccessful photograph, but it is one of my least favorites of Shore's work. I think what turns me off about this photo is that it seems like hes trying too hard to let color be present. In his other photographs, it seems more natural, and the color adds to the composition and mood of the photograph. though this photograph seems strategic, and the colors compliment each other, i think it still reads to me that he was looking for color rather than looking for the subject - whether or not that was the case.

This is a successful image because of the composition, the angle, and the colors. I like the angle, because its almost awkward. all of the lines are on angles. the photograph becomes more dynamic. i appreciate the way the chairs are cut off, because the way they're cut, brings your eye back down into the photograph. all of the objects surrounding the man and woman have straight lines, which frame the people making them the main subjects. the colors work because there is a common shade of pink throughout the photo. since the colors are muted, it helps bring down the intensity of all of the graphic lines. The pink also unifies all of the subjects together.

I think this is a successful photograph because i like the composition. i his its interesting how the perspective of the lines on the window bring your eye into the photograph. the verticals from the chair, lamp, and legs from the table brings your eye up to the tv. i like Shore's use of color in this photograph. The room and the furniture in the room are neutral, which makes the blue pop out. The blue from the tv is balanced from the blue jeans and the blue tag on the suitcase.

I like this photograph because of the use of color.  i think its interesting how everything around the subject is gray, but the girl has colorful clothing. it brings your eye into the photograph, keeping her the main focus.

I like Soth's use of scale in this photograph. Making the bus small in the middle of the frame gives the feeling of the bus being stranded and that it is being engulfed by the land. the color of the bus complements the sky, and makes the bus stand out more.

this photograph stood out to me because even though there is a lot of objects in this photograph, the man is still the main focus. the pops of red on the table, pillows, phone, and cushions are framing the man, which also brings your eye into the photograph. i am also interested in this photograph because i am want to see what is in the room, and how it could relate to the figure in the photograph.
