William Eggleston

This is a photo, from the looks of the lens in the 1970’s. It appears it is taken from inside a diner apparent from the coca-cola crate and the painted lettering made out on the window ‘shrimp’. This image drew my attention not because of its physical composition but instead what it does as an image. It works almost as a time capsule, capturing that era and way of life in subtle ways. Weather on not the photographer was aiming to convey this message or arouse this reaction it does so effectively .Highlighting the technique of type on the display, the American muscle car and the pre developed coca-cola logo and the architecture behind the parking lot.
