Eggleston is interesting, he is non-Descartes, not existential, but focused
on remembering the familiar.  He is factual but is mostly driven by
composition and light.  Reminds me mostly of Plato's idea that we forget or
overlook the obvious, that our history is forgetting the familiar.  I wish I
has Szarkowski's foward for the Eggleston Guide.
