AMEN. We had to look at Eggleston ad nauseum in college and I could never figure out just what in the heck was so great about his stuff...middle of the day snaps that look like he was not even looking through his camera. If that is art I'll pass. Someone wrote that there is a lot of garbage photography out there, well IMHO Eggleston was one of the first to pass off a load of crap as art and people bit hook, line, and sinker. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
