Anyone who dabbles in color photography should know Eggleston’s work. A wonderful exhibition is currently being shown at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.

Greenwood, Mississippi, 1973. William Eggleston.

Eggleston’s attitude about his subjects, about photography has been appreciated and copied by so many contemporary photographers – all things, whether is be a person or a lightbulb are viewed the same.

John Szarkowski said it best:

“One can say then that in these photographs form and content are indistinguishable – which is to say that the pictures mean precisely what they appear to mean. Attempting to translate these appearances into words is surely a fool’s errand, in the pursuit of which no two fools would choose the same unsatisfactory words.”

Eggleston’s website has some articles spanning his entire career that are quite enjoyable…
