This Thursday: Stephen Shore at BU

The Nature of Photographs is stuffed with gorgeous prints, from classic images to contemporary pieces and found negatives, not to mention a smattering of work by STEPHEN SHORE, the book’s author and a pioneer in the field of color photography. Nature isn’t merely an collection of iconic pics, it’s a primer on the key elements that make a photograph work. In an event sponsored by the Photographic Resource Center, Shore will discuss the subtext behind his images and sign copies this Thursday at Boston University’s College of General Studies, Jacob Sleeper Auditorium, 871 Comm Ave, Boston | 7 pm | free | 617.975.0600.
