Editor’s Note:
Christopher George, Imaging Technician at the International Center for Photography in New York, and editor of ICP’s “Fans in a Flash Bulb” blog, highlights Stephen Shore’s “Mt. (Mt. Shasta) Shasta” image. The image was made by Shore for his seminal book from 1982, “Uncommon Places.”

I have always liked that image and loved that it was shot so close to here. I liked his original and not so much how he zooms in on this recent book.

Glad to see Mount Shasta’s getting more recognition. I love the shots along Highway 97.
