New Yorker: Jerry Shore

By Todd on November 26, 2006 10:02 PM |

Over at his blog, Alec Soth has been talking a lot about underrated photographers lately. In his post about Denis Cameron, he quotes Cameron: "Our work is to record our world and history will judge us from what we leave behind. Pictures will be our epitaph.”

Last week's New Yorker featured a profile of Jerry Shore, a photographer unknown to me and a great many other people apparently. Few friends or acquaintances knew of his photography and he sold only one image in his life. Now, 12 years after his death, his prodigious, but unknown, output truly serves as his epitaph.
