William Eggleston



William Eggleston is one of my favourite photographers. He is an American-born photographer in 1939 and established colour photography as legitimate artistic medium in art galleries and museums while it was only black and white photography before. Eggleston also had the first one-person exhibition of colour photographs in the history of MoMA. Check out more of his photographs here. As some of you know from Twitter or Facebook, I am heading to Thailand today, so blog updates might be a little slow over the next two weeks.

  7. Saw his photographs at LACMA and became an instant fan. The photo of the drink on the plane is truly my favorite.
