I am a Canadian documentary photographer in Santiago , DR . I could not even imagine 1 shot only of each what that would be like . I always shoot 2-3 just in case
Hmmm, as he explains it, it is only the consequence of him later not being able to figure out which one would be the best frame (which is honest but also helps us reconsider the statement under this light)... so I would be cautious about validating this strategy that may work for him but may not always be the best technique/approach for successful photography (one that matches the photographer's intuition/intentions best.
I know your post is five years old, but that was my reaction as well. I'm not arguing with anyone who likes his work, but for me, I would be embarrassed to post some of those shots on FLICKR (or 500 px or pBase). I've taken shots like that but it was when I was testing a camera I'd just bought. Interesting he doesn't seem to be fussing with the camera settings, looks like he's on "full auto", just brings the camera up to his face, clicks and then down again and walks away. Brings to mind something my mother used to say: "Every mop has a handle".
@@normankleinberg5525 I shoot on preset and quickly focus which takes about 13 seconds . And I don't know about the posting 😬 thing , or the point and shoot thing . I would interested in seeing some of your work .
I've seen that, but I've also seen it listed as Sumner Miss. where he grew up. Now, I'm wondering how old he was when he moved to Sumner. I could've been a lot more wrong.
Please, without taking away any credit from Eggleston for is unique vision, saying that he took color "kicking and screaming into the world of art photography" is just ignorance and BS, just repeating Szarkowski's words, word for word, without doing any serious research! Has anyone looked at the work of Eliot Porter (shown at MoMA and the Met far before Eggleston), or Ernst Haas, or even Joel Meyerowitz.... PGMAB !

he makes such mundane stuff look so cinematic, fantastic photographer.
He's got a character actor's face, voice and body language potency.
i like his discipline, "one picture of one thing, not two".

I couldn't do that myself.
He did not apply it all the time. His photography is more a particular if not peculiar atmosphere.
He’s a Gee’
Thank you for uploading this!
Thanks for posting this. It's definitely an improvement on the original Holzemer documentary. Cheers!
Which focal lengths did William Eggleston use?
Thanks for posting this, im a big Eggleston fan.
Really
The Emperors new clothes are so beautiful
I have just realised that my best pictures were thrown away.

@@normankleinberg5525 Have you heard of Dunning-Kruger effect? Look it up.
How sad 😥 ...

@@normankleinberg5525 True!
where is naked man????!
Frames of the Now. It. That. Is.
can anyone tell me what camera he is using here?
Leica probably. M6?
I was gonna ask the same thing, thanks!
Intellectually conceived work not at all photographic
I've seen that, but I've also seen it listed as Sumner Miss. where he grew up. Now, I'm wondering how old he was when he moved to Sumner. I could've been a lot more wrong.
The man is a lier
does someone know which camera he is using in this documentary? thanks
Looks like a Leica M6 (maybe M7) with an autowinder on the bottom
He used many cameras but mostly Leicas (starting with an M3).
Yes it is definitely an M6 or an M7 with a motor drive. I would vote for an M7 because I do not see him adjusting the exposure at any moment.
Why do we need to see Alan Yentob?
God bless the banal
God Bless my Father Dr. Tom Boring who was murdered by smoke inhalation
Like it!!
I want to be able to photograph "nothing" and have it look so good.
No-one ever photographs nothing intentionally ... "le référent adhère !" (R. Barthes)
P.S. Eggleston was actually born in Mississippi.
And?
Waiting for Kevin Spacey to play him...
you made my day.. im in stitches lol...he does look like kevin or vice versa,, they even sound the same
;o)
Is he on drugs and alcohol? Cause he looks pretty weirdo high.

His unique vision [sorry, just a little frustrated to hear the same myths again and again].
Agree! His work is like a mistake . Please explain to me what his work is?
@@bruceweiss3728 He has a very idiosyncratic vision that expresses itself best in color.
ok does any one else think he 9:05 looks like a 60 year old harry potter that rocks
He is a Lier
