William Eggleston in the Real World
Posted on September 13, 2005
One of the last books I purchased before leaving Japan was a reprint of William Eggleston's Guide
. Eggleston's homage to the mundane accompanied his one-man show, and the first of colour photographs exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in 1976.
In filmmaker Michael Almereyda's newly released documentary, William Eggleston in the Real World, he "poses a fundamental question to the renowned photographer: What does it mean to see the world so differently that "common" images are converted into unforgettable photos?" Now I just have to figure out how to see this film short of traveling to New York.

Nooooo waayy------
Aw man, first the Digital GR1 and now this. A week of desire.
Probably going to be a better film that "Arakimentari" was, as a film. Now if only the Tokyo Metro Photo Museum will get it...
