South Nevada Street, Fallon, Nevada, September 18, 2007

On the day I was born, Steven Shore was on Deerfield Street, Greenfield, Massachusetts.
His carefully composed scenes of otherwise mundane urban subjects has been a powerful influence on me. Shore took several road trips during the early and mid-70's, and among other things, produced many photos of and from hotels.

This photo of a hotel was taken on a road trip, and while I certainly can't claim Shore's skill or care, it was taken while I was with someone else who has been a powerful influence on me. Happy birthday, Brett.

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
