On 3rd July 1973 Stephen Shore (b.1947) set out on a road trip. The journey marked an important turning point in his career, as he was coming to the tail end of American Surfaces and embarking on what came to be known as Uncommon Places.

In the month-long journal that Shore kept on his trip, he itemized, in a deadpan, unemotional style, everywhere he stayed, what he ate, what television programmes he watched and how many miles he drove; he also included postcards of the towns that he stayed in, glued in alongside hotel, restaurant and gas-station receipts and a listing of every photograph he took on the way.

As he travelled, he photographed the towns and cities he drove through, the people he met, the food he ate, the beds he slept in, from New York to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, from San Francisco to Holbrook, Arizona and onwards.

By the 13th July he had arrived in South Dakota. On the 14th he had cereal for breakfast, steak for lunch and a blt for dinner. He stayed in the El Centro Motel in Kadoka and watched the Mary Tyler Moore show. During the day he made eight exposures. One of them was of this apparently unexceptional yellow cabin with a telegraph pole, a bush and car parked neatly beside it. Stephen Shore is a master of making us think about the ordinary in an extraordinary way.
