Very interesting! I don't know a ton about art or photography, but the reason I know of him is because he and his wife own a house in east Memphis that I LOVE. I stalked the internet until I figured out who owned the beautiful mediterranean home and it is them. I'd love to see some of the work of the owner of that house.
I went to the Eggleston site and enjoyed the nice pictures. Thank you for having introduced me this photographer.
