They're not all here but this is probably my favorite Eggleston work, 14 Pictures

I can't find any mention of this connection anywhere, but the "Lynch-Frost Productions" logo which ends episodes of Twin Peaks--
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdOWzq2jPhk
-- has always reminded me of Eggleston's photograph of the open black oven:
http://www.brianrose.com/journal/eggleston_oven.jpg
IMO, that has to be an homage.

Directors who've explicitly cited Eggleston's influence-- Wenders, Van Sant, Sofia Coppola, Korine; case can be made for Malick, Wong Kar Wai/ Christopher Doyle, the Coen brothers, many others. (The other day happened upon Blood Simple on TV; saw so much Eggleston in it-- like, struck by specific shots that directly reminded me of specific Eggleston photographs.)
Of course, once you start looking you (I) see Eggleston everywhere, maybe fallaciously; but he's permeated so much of contemporary visual culture, in large part through the photographers, directors, cinematographers he's influenced. (Can't help seeing him in "True Detective" too.)
And yet, for all that, he maintains his ineffaceable difference/ distinctiveness, the idiosyncrasy, the uniqueness of his aesthetic sensibility. For all his influence, all the things one sees now as "Egglestonian," he's SO NOT replicable. People copy so much about his photographs (often only the most extrinsic of qualities, like: oh here's a picture of an old American car), but no one else in the world has that eye... or something more primordial than the "eye."

ty 龜! yeah i'm so into it. there are layers & layers that make a nicely photographed diary of nice photographs nice to look at. like that's almost the most literal & immediate way to finalise & fix your work, right? just with a diary.
also just lost in those mark cohen pictures you posted; i googled to repost a b&w shot from '74 & found this lucrative set on a gallery site. his framing. i remember this interview with the director andrew bujalski, where he was talking about his comfort with his cinematographer, matthias grunsky, how he knows the kind of thing bujalski likes, like an arm suddenly entering the frame. & the cohen shots feel like such a real perspective this way.

I've always been kinda suspicious of Mark Cohen, but those are great. Maybe I need to give him another shot.
― chinavision!, Monday, 19 May 2014 18:23 (ten years ago) link
ha ha, i think i had the same preexisting opinion maybe? & i forget why. i know we talked about him awhile back. was it maybe because they were like ... levittwave pictures of socioeconomic hard times on porches or something? anyway there's a crazy cohesive thread between the set i posted. thread is really just ... limb-joints. niche.
― schlump, Monday, 19 May 2014 18:32 (ten years ago) link
I think I thought of him as a bit, uh, shoot what's that annoying nyc street photographer? The one with the flashes in people's faces? Totally blanking now but kinda like that guy. Aggressive raw tough street photography. All wide angled close ups in black and white, dwelling on people's flawed bodies or ugly lives in an exploitive way.Probably what most people think of Martin Parr actually, who I actually like so go figure.It's bugging me that I'm blanking on that one guy right now.
― chinavision!, Monday, 19 May 2014 18:59 (ten years ago) link
ha ha, bruce gilden?, right? i say this because this morning after the klein stuff i was watching some of cheryl dunn's everybody street, which has a section on him. he's just such a terrible human being, unredeemed by his shitty photographs. but yeah. i am thinking of the ilx thread where whiney talks about finally a sympathetic eye to the city's homelessness problem.
in case we haven't talked about martin parr within twelve months i can look at his stuff from mexico but only because i'm not regionally aphasic enough to miss its presumably voyeuristic social dimension.
