  • "Color adds a new layer of information to the subject—it does two things: one is that it adds transparency, and by transparency, I mean that you have the sense of looking through the photograph without constantly being reminded that it’s a photograph. But the other thing is that color can communicate the palette of age and the palette of culture, and that was something I was particularly interested in." —Stephen Shore
