Hi, Rod: I was not referring to Eggleston in particular, but to all of those photographs that I see in galleries and ask "Why?" But since you mention Eggleston, go to this site: http://www.masters-of-photography.com/E/eggleston/eggleston_greenville.html And explain to me why he even bothered to print this. I guess it is almost scary to me that if I were editing my photos and came across one like this, I would file it in the round file! Leically, Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
