No, it didn't have any drunk old women in it. It did have him talking about 
his work, showing him working, and had excerpts from his "Stranded in 
Canton" film which featured people with their lives interlaced with drink, 
quaaludes, and other substances that might well take from the enjoyment of 
the sybilant click of an M8 shutter. Certainly, it's another aspect of photo 
enhancement. Mr Eggleston uses film though - and prints!
