Looking at a Bat is a C-print from Hudson Valley Renegades: Summer League Baseball, a portfolio of 25 photographs by Stephen Shore (b. 1947) made at Dutchess Stadium in 2001 and printed at Laumont Photographics by Kylie Wright under Shore's supervision. The image captures a player examining a baseball bat — a quiet moment of inspection and preparation at close range, the grain and weight of the wooden bat the image's quiet subject. Signed in pen on verso.
