William Eggleston: 21st Century
William Eggleston's photographs are filled with light; he calibrates its differences and qualities. The shadow of a palm tree on a sun-smitten wall; light filtering into an empty shower stall through a faded curtain. Grim, hellish light inside a freezer, the rust-pigmented frost caked to the freezer wall, plastic bags of ice snuggled neatly in the lower gloom. Who else would think to photograph this dreary beauty?
