An attempt to find the edge that Eggleston defined.

Car Butt was the one for me - although does the foliage behind the butt add or detract? No idea.

I would have cropped differently but hey that's different people.

No pot plants (although I would be allowed to grow up to 4 plants here in Canada soon).  ;)  Some of Eggy's favourite subjects though. The B&W's were taken in 1974, and the colour shot 43 years later, but toned more like film(?)

In the colour shot, the rust-coloured rusty one reminds me of the general profile of a Hudson Hornet, except that I think they used to have the rear wheels more covered in; is that of what it may have been some iteration?

The black/white ones: I love the bold, positive profile of the two-door; any idea what it is?

Crap.

Apply the rules of the camera club, the workshop and the How to manuals, and even shit can look pretty. The curator, however, prefers shit to look crappy.

The Metropolitan, MOMA and other museum have another vision on Eggleston. But I guess they are complete idiot regarding photography.

Nowadays that's sometimes the case.

The 2-door is a Cadillac, precise vintage I don't know. As for the colour shot, this is a collector/creator here in Nova Scotia who likes to monkey around ("chop") old cars he finds. The B&W shots were probably composed quite deliberately. The last one (colour) is more of a stop-and-grab snapshot. My friend (who was driving) was in a hurry to get somewhere.

I think Eggleston and I see (think?) very differently (no big revelation there), just as Ivo and Rob and I would probably come back with very different pictures from the same walkabout. I like looking at images that have been curated and deemed worth sharing, even when my initial reaction might be what a load of crap!. Sometimes my opinion stays the same, sometimes it shifts as I look closer, or question; either way, I figure I've incorporated something into my sphere of experience.

I have been searching for a link to the Martin Parr shot of the wagon wheel ceiling light which seems to me equally odd as the red shot. I missed my chance to ask him why he took it. Hopefully there will be another chance.

Found it



WTF?
