It is available on Netflix in the 'watch instantly' streaming view as well as on DVD. As Megan mentioned, William Eggleston in the Real World is worth a watch.

Would a Robert Johnson record have sounded different, if played through a set of Eggleston speakers? Sounds like a good match to me. http://www.egglestonworks.com/Products.htm This family business, from folklore talk, seems to have provided Mr. Eggleston with the means to pursue his personal photography. (So maybe having "a day job" is not so bad after all -- to free you up from the constraints of shooting for The Man). Like another person said earlier in the Comments, the documentary film on Eggleston is worth watching too. More folklore -- he claims never to have shot more than one frame on any of the scenes he encountered. One frame, and then move on down the street. He is a fascinating character, for sure. The world needs more like him. I’ve always been a Klipsch man myself, but if I was still buying these large stereo systems, it just feels right to have purchased a set of these.

More than anything it's about who you are as a person and how well you are able to relate to the world and your subjects. You need to be able to forget about yourself while taking pictures and be able to make the people you are photographing feel comfortable. It takes confidence to be do this. You must be sure of yourself and know why you are doing what your are doing. A lot of photography is about being relaxed and being able to gain access.

It's not often you hear that it's ok to make pictures for the sake of the composition. There's always a push to attach a philosophy or a social statement to image making. Thanks for posting that.

The colors in the pictures have are vibrant and beautiful. His son describes the relaxed enviroment his Father created when working. There was a sense of this being calm while viewing his work. When you can get a sense of who the artist is in his artwork, you know that you are looking at a special piece of art. His perspective and composition is amazing.
