William Eggleston: “I am at war with the obvious.”

William Eggleston, a hero to so many photographers, finally agreed to talk about his art while a camera was running. I haven't seen the film yet (I'm going to order it today), but I thought I'd share this inspiring clip to go along with your Monday morning coffee. Wow.

jim-
thanks for this....of course, this isn't exactly the first time he's talked about his photography before the camera, but he seems a bit more, uh, lucid, in this one....still, can never get enough of seeing the guy walking around shooting, though inquiring minds want to know - with absolutely no respect to the great man - at which shutter speed he shoots to prevent camera shake blur....
