Spatial continuity

What is this?

I recently saw Stephen Shore's "Beverly and La Brea" 1975.

I was transfixed and couldn't figure out why. What was it about La Brea that held my awe? What was he trying to do?

My Flickr friend ajimhill recommended I read Stephen Shore's "Modern Instances". Quite a cerebral photography book.

 

Through practice & practice I am attempting to implement Shore's principles of "spacial continuity"; do not impose structure of a scene from you, but rather allow the scene to organize itself into it's natural structure, thus allowing the viewer to be able to move their attention through the 'space' of the picture.....
