Stephen Shore crossed the country with his large-format view camera, capturing banal settings with acidic colors betraying a Pop sensibility left over from his youth working in Andy Warhol’s famed Factory. His use of color was revolutionary at a time when color photography was primarily associated with advertising or the snapshot. U.S. 10, Post Falls, Idaho playfully comments on the landscape tradition. The waterfall on the fluorescent sign and the crates and bags of produce in the foreground allude to depictions of the landscape as either sublime or bountiful. In Shores’s photograph, however, nature exists as a commodity or a kitschy roadside attraction.
