Sure. Jen are made of steel!
Nailed it!
When it comes to keeping John happy, my toes are expendable.
It's a good theme yes. Someone said about Eggleston 'he photographs nothing but make's it interesting'.
I pleased to know that
Sadly, Ansel Adams and another member of the F64 group wasn't thrilled with Eggleston's work (and I'm sure many others were like that too). I think his work is the type that's not truly appreciated until years later, by those who become nostalgic for what used to be.
Good thing I'm not him, thenVery much on point, although I'm deliberately shunning titles on mine as Eggleston never titled his work
That one didn't really need a title in any case, but it's a hard habit to break.
Yeah… that whole spelling thing, all those extraneous letters. Too much trouble for your average American.
What a find! And a rare opportunity. And I keep trying to turn the light switch into a face.
You nailed it, I’m thinking retro/ snapshot genre
That’s very Egglestone
We will settle with a beat up HyundaiHuh....I think my description was easier to fathomOh and American cars, where the heck do I find those in middle England!!
Thanks for the link Jill, excellent article
YESSSS !!!
It is a good article, but the author lifts most of it from the BBC Imagine documentary.
I haven’t watched the BBC doco John, but he did spend $300 on a series of Eggleston photo books. I thought he explained Eggleston quite.
He did an ok job, but if you watch the doc or even look at the books that are also on YouTube it kind of busts the myth that he largely photographed people free environments. He actually included people in a lot of his work. I should say includes as he's still alive.
