I have no idea why I'm naming this post after a Sade song.. hardly fitting. But my new found love for William Eggleston's photography makes me want to sing. Or rather, transport myself back to the 1970s and get snap-happy with a large format camera.
From Memphis Tennessee, Eggleston was an innovator of colour photography. And he does what I can only dream of doing - captures something everyday and ordinary and turns it into something beautiful and sacred. The colour and texture of these images is the stuff that (my) dreams are made of.
Isn't that another song?
