William Eggleston

William Eggleston was one of the first photographers to have a solo show of color photography at MoMA in 1976 with the exhibition "William Eggleston's Guide". His use of color is considered among the most influential of all working photographers today. Here is a link to his traveling retrospective currently on view at LACMA in Los Angeles. Follow this link to a documentary film on Eggleston directed by Michael Almereyda. It's an interesting look at the photographer at work and in his native Memphis, Tennessee.
