Since Alfred Stieglitz, the first living photographer to have a solo exhibition at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are most fortunate to be collaborating with Stephen Shore to bring you this monographic issue, which includes a conversation with Shore, initiated by renowned photographer Todd Hido, and a text of “Raw Machines” written by Shore himself. In addition, art historian Dr. Tom Cornelius provides introductions to each portfolio.

His influence on conceptual color photography contributes to Shore’s position as one of art history’s most important and innovative photographers. He pioneered the use of the diaristic snapshot and is known for capturing the banal with an impassive documentary style that brought photography into the realm of art, rejecting narrative in favor of the more formal characteristics of time, space, and surface, encouraging us to actively engage with his work and rewarding the viewer for the effort.
