I was as quick to dismiss the Tennessee picture as others. And I still may not become a fan of Eggleston's work. But this post of John's has given me a fresh perspective that made sense to me and I've learned a bit and that's good. Actually, I must admit that I keep seeing that road corner in my mind's eye. I think it reminds me of some my cross country road trips that I've made. Interesting. (My response that is) Maybe older dogs can learn new tricks. Arf!
