William Eggleston at the Whitney



I discovered yesterday that the Whitney has an exhibition of William Eggleston's photographs. I greatly admire his work, and have been inspired by it for years. I would love to get to New York to see it. Alas, it runs only until the end of January, and I won't be able to be there until mid-February. So instead, I ordered the exhibition catalog and can't wait to devour it.

Eggleston is considered to be the first fine art photographer noted for his use of color. His quality of light, and the everyday "snapshot aesthetic" of his images, are two of the best known attributes of his work. Check out his website.
