William Eggleston quotes about
impossible photograph follow-up
Whatever it is about pictures, photographs, it's just about impossible to follow up with words. They don't have anything to do with each other.
drunk useless waste
Only the few times I've been to so-called treatment centers, which were a complete waste of money and useless. I didn't know what I was doing at the time, because I was always drunk when I checked in.
black-and-white people supportive
A lot of my friends were mostly working in black-and-white-people like Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and others. We would exchange prints with each other, and they were always very supportive of what I was doing. What each of us was doing photographically was entirely different, but we were basically coming from the same place, sort of like a club.
legends memphis clients
I have some that I have become a well-known-even infamous-client of, mostly in Memphis. But a great deal of that is legend and doesn't have anything to do with truth.
cameras looks blind
I quite frequently don't look through the camera, which is very close to being blind.
