I love these photos of Beverly Hills in the 80’s. Photography has always inspired. When I go to a museum I gravitate towards the photography section, more so than the other mediums. There’s something about freeing a moment in time that I could just stare at endlessly.

Much in the same way Edward Hopper explored solitude and banality in industrialized America, Stephen Shore sought many of those same themes irl, taking interest in familiar locations like gas stations or motel swimming pools.
Shore shot a lot of his work (most notably his book Uncommon Places) on road trips across the United States, and would meticulously journal his activities as he progressed from East to West. Reading about what Shore had for breakfast and what the room he watched television in looked like the morning he took photos like the one below is really enjoyable, particularly when his activities feel almost as antiquated as the parking lots of wing-tipped Cadillacs he photographs.
His photos ultimately reveal an extreme technical proficiency and mastery of composition, which allows us to look at extinct moments with full lucidity.

when i was at a flea market i found the photo portfolio of a middle or high school student from sometime in the 20th century. this is probably my favorite photo from the collection, i just love the movement in it. the girl who took these also mainly received b’s on her assignment so i’m just thrilled have them hanging in my home

My uncle turned me onto this camera. It’s like $45, durable, and divides the film negative in half — so you get more “bang for your buck”. Especially now that film is so expensive.

All his short documentaries are wild and hard to find. The gambling one was a big inspiration for me for The Last Showgirl. I felt like you’re able to see how the city can take hold of a person— unlike any other place. You see the people who come visit and the people who live there.
