I am a Canadian documentary photographer in Santiago , DR . I could not even imagine 1 shot only of each what that would be like . I always shoot 2-3 just in case

Hmmm, as he explains it, it is only the consequence of him later not being able to figure out which one would be the best frame (which is honest but also helps us reconsider the statement under this light)... so I would be cautious about validating this strategy that may work for him but may not always be the best technique/approach for successful photography (one that matches the photographer's intuition/intentions best.

He did not apply it all the time. His photography is more a particular if not peculiar atmosphere.

I know your post is five years old, but that was my reaction as well. I'm not arguing with anyone who likes his work, but for me, I would be embarrassed to post some of those shots on FLICKR (or 500 px or pBase). I've taken shots like that but it was when I was testing a camera I'd just bought. Interesting he doesn't seem to be fussing with the camera settings, looks like he's on "full auto", just brings the camera up to his face, clicks and then down again and walks away. Brings to mind something my mother used to say: "Every mop has a handle".

I've seen that, but I've also seen it listed as Sumner Miss. where he grew up. Now, I'm wondering how old he was when he moved to Sumner. I could've been a lot more wrong.

@BrunoChalifour 4 жыл бұрын

He used many cameras but mostly Leicas (starting with an M3).

@BrunoChalifour 4 жыл бұрын

Yes it is definitely an M6 or an M7 with a motor drive. I would vote for an M7 because I do not see him adjusting the exposure at any moment.

Please, without taking away any credit from Eggleston for is unique vision, saying that he took color "kicking and screaming into the world of art photography" is just ignorance and BS, just repeating Szarkowski's words, word for word, without doing any serious research! Has anyone looked at the work of Eliot Porter (shown at MoMA and the Met far before Eggleston), or Ernst Haas, or even Joel Meyerowitz.... PGMAB !
