It's definitely one of his strong points. All of the subjects in his photos are always so dynamic, even if they're standing still. I'm going to go see the traveling exhibit at the DIA this weekend, I'm excited. As much as I kind of balk at it, I think you're right in that self portraits are definitely something that can really help define and refine photography skill. Maybe I will have to do some, but yeah, like a lot of photogs, I hate being in front of the camera. more avedon    This one reminds me of that Kane photo earlier in the thread.

For the Shore image, I agree with the sentiment that the girl is not the focus. Instead, I see her a compositional element, a starting point. The first thing after seeing the girl, my eyes immediately slide upwards to the strong diagonal water/land line. The bars at the bottom are there to direct your attention away, sort of "keep going, keep going, nothing to see here."
