original description

William Eggleston (1939) is an American photographer. He's often called the Father of Colour Photography. While he didn't invent it or popularise it, he is widely regarded as the photographer who brought serious colour photography into the maintream art world. William Eggleston was born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in Sumner, Mississippi. As a boy, Eggleston was introverted and enjoyed playing the piano, drawing, and working with electronics. From an early age, he was drawn to visual media; he reportedly enjoyed buying postcards and cutting out pictures from magazines. Eggleston was also interested in audio technology as a child. However, it was during college that his interest in photography took root; during his first year in college, a friend gave Eggleston a Leica camera. Eggleston took art classes at Ole Miss and was introduced to abstract expressionism by a visiting painter from New York named Tom Young. Eggleston began experimenting with color photography in 1965 and 1966, and color transparency film became his dominant medium in the late sixties. his official website... http://www.egglestontrust.com/ Music --- Looking for Somebody by Gary Moore
