William Eggleston - Chromes (Volume 1)

Sifting trough the pages of Volume 1 of a great trilogy of books of Eggleston's early color work done on slide film. The books are a pleasure to look at and if you don't have a bookstore where you could check out the books, you can get a glimpse here. I've never held, let alone owned a book this beatifully crafted.

Thank you for sharing this

[@teknosirus]

Thanks for doing this. Even seeing these in a video is exciting. I'm sure they were expensive as hell but you really have something to cherish there. Always been curious as to why I'm so drawn to Eggleston's images -- a dime for every time I've heard, "It's just a tricycle. I could do that ..." I think you only really appreciate them when seen in relation to one another. They're mundane objects but treated with such care. The one shot only and no cropping always fascinated me also. I could never do that, lol.

@TasKarp: Glad I could convey part of the greatness this way. I couldn't resist, even with the hefty price, after seeing it in the bookstore in Berlin.

[@TasKarp]

Very nice book. Thank you for sharing. I was looking at it on amazon (it is expensive), but after viewing this video I think it is worth the purchase. Kindest regards, Tasos.

Thank you. And thank you for not adding music, which of course would add nothing at all.

[@Dogboy73]

Incorrect position of the light.

[@lukastrika]

ah well, best it could be done under the conditions i had.

[@AndreasHeumann]

Bollox, can't even see the blurbed images from this badly made Google print book or who ever printed this.
Eggleston was a shooting Star who was lucky to get attention at the right time. That time was very short thank god.

[@phoeNYkx]

Eggleston was a spammer. He went on snapping pictures rather than possessing that sublime art and technique of photography. I doubt if he can creatively handle a SLR. He just got lucky back in the day. Thanks to hyper-saturated color prints, silver spoon up his ass to market it and lastly, over-analysing and uber-optimistic photography committee trying find a spark of genius in every garbage picture he snapped.

[@gskowal]

+phoeNYkx , seriously? trolling much?

[@nocommentnoname1111]

polymath: Oh, dont hold back, tell us how you really feel about him. And let's see some of your iPhone genius work.

[@obrienmiles-rhodes9020]

I can see how you could feel that way. I have been described as aggressive street photographer so I respect him going these places no one had the balls to go. The funeral shots killed me.

[@cosmiccomic3744]

obviously he is a genious. soo much life in this book.

[@MontyCantsin5]

You couldn't be more wrong.
