In a recent interview with Augusten Burroughs for the New York Times, William Eggleston brushes off the suggestion that his photographs are carefully constructed compositions but insists instead that his craft is intuitive rather than analytical; a simple recording of what’s already there if one cares to look. Looking is of course a big part of photography but it takes on new meaning under Eggleston’s physical and mechanical lens. In this Untitled still from the “Democratic Forest” series, Eggleston elevates the humble condiment holder in a tightly framed composition of elegant harmony and rhythm where color and light are not descriptive but depend on the subjective perceptions the viewer’s optical lens.
