William Eggleston in the Real World

“Photography tends to show, to describe much more than it can explain”

Also, check out this story (here) on Snag Films, the company that’s distributing the film for free online. They’re trying to help documentary filmmakers reach a broader audience.

    I love this doc.
    I have watched it many times.
    My fav quote from it is

    “Art, or what they call that… you can love it, you can appreciate it. but, you can’t really talk about it.. doesn’t make sense.”

    Trailer for a new doc on him can been seen here

    It’s extremely interesting to see how the artists that you admire live and work… This is a very cool glimpse of an artist who’s work is difficult to put words to and we find out why from his mouth. Definitely recommend this to any photog!

    i bought this doc a while back and really love watchin one of my favorite photographers work, but the film itself is almost too haphazard and i kinda wish the filmmaker wasnt so much a part of the film. but alas, it seems a worthy cost to watch eggleston do his thing
