i saw it on a primal scream record then i saw it on the cover of another CD in the same shop on the same day (can't remember the name of the band) then a few days later i saw it on the cover of an Ali Smith Novel.

i wish i could find the other band cd.

Did anyone see "William Eggleston In The Real World"? It was actually a bit of a letdown - mostly because he's a bit of a letdown on camera. But I guess there's no rule that says good photographers have to be interesting to talk to.

i recently bought the dvd for cheap at the tower video everything-must-go sale, but i haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

Eggleston's Stranded in Canton in its entirety:

appearances by Furry Lewis, Jim Dickinson, Johnny Woods, circus geeks, drunks with guns, transvestites, stoned belles and other assorted mid-south scenesters ("back when everyone liked quaaludes") ref'd in Gordon's It Came From Memphis etc...

i find it difficult to watch and probably the weakest part of his body of work :\

For quasi-Eggleston fun, see Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places, which got reissued last year.

Got this for Christmas. I've been like Christopher Reeve in Somewhere in Time ever since, trying to hop through the book into the photographs so I can see what downtown Regina really looks like up close.

did any of y'all make it to the whitney exhibition? it was like having some beautiful eye test

did it end already? i was gonna head up there tomorrow :(

yeah, it ended the day before I decided I really need to go. Also frowny face.

aw yeah :(
xp it finished last sunday, i snuck in just in time. i've missed eggleston exhibitions in the past, though, so it shouldn't be too long til another.

they weren't selling posters, but i REALLY want one of the ones up on subway walls, with the kid and the gun

I caught it the second to last day

here's an internets re-creation of the show

^^^^ all the times seeing the big star album cover and I never noticed the blacklight sex zodiac posters. lol

also that pinball photo from upthread was in it. and the mixed drink on the airplane (which looks like an ad ... seems like it could have just as easily been appropriation art from the Richard Prince show) and the girl on the grass. and Stranded in Canton.

ok i guess thats enuff

never enuff.

LOOK AWAY NOW if you missed it
but man, seeing these just reminds me how amazing they were as prints - the ceiling totally blew me away. and the bear?, the stuffed teddy with the textured fur. his colour is perfect, so involving and warm. i remember thinking "is that blue the sky? is the sky that blue"

yeah more more

i have a history of missing whitney exhibitions i really want to see (still kicking myself for not making it to gordon matta-clark a few yrs ago)

The Outlands is out now. 405 previously unpublished photographs from the William Eggleston's Guide/Chromes era. I preordered this in November so I've had plenty of time to anticipate.

In the video, William Eggleston III says that the next big project is a more comprehensive edit of the early black & white work. Likely another multi-volume slipcase affair.
