colour me eggleston
There's a documentary called The Colourful Mr. Eggleston currently up on the BBC iPlayer til sometime in August. I'm kinda surprised by some aspects of Eggleston's personal life, I expected him to be reserved all the way through, just like his tight-lipped molasses voice suggests.
I am drooling over Eggleston's Leicas!
Also, I love Juergen Teller's sound effects :D
P.S. Interestingly, when collecting photos for this post I couldn't find 2 of my favourites: an interior cafe shot looking out at a semi-naked young man, who is looking in.. and a bottle of tomato sauce (maybe there's mustard too?) but not the shot I've included here (or similar ones I found on google). Maybe I dreamed them, ha.
