Shore Acres State Park, Oregon 1959

This 1959 black and white photograph, "Shore Acres State Park, Oregon" by Minor White (1908-1976), showcases the artist's signature style of abstract photography. White was known for finding beauty in everyday objects and scenes, using light and shadow to create a sense of mystery and intrigue. In this image, a close-up of a rock formation, the light reflects off the textured surface, highlighting its shape and form in a way that suggests the passage of time and natural erosion. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation and an appreciation for the subtle details of the natural world.
