Last night was the 4th episode of Imagine. It focused on my favourite photographer
William Eggleston. I studied his work at college and was amazed how he created beautiful
photographs from everyday medial things. I know his work well but didn’t know anything
about him. The documentary shows Eggleston at work – taking photographs on the road,
in and around his home town of Memphis. He was a man that was into guns, women and
drink. He had a house for his wife and one for his mistress. This is really worth a watch
and can still be viewed on BBC IPlayer.
