Some new old Egglestons!

About the Photographs

When William Eggleston began the series that he would later name, somewhat misleadingly, ''Los Alamos,'' he was a young photographer known only to insiders and fellow artists, and he had worked only in black and white. In 1965, he decided to experiment with color, photographing scenes in his home city of Memphis. Nine years later, he had traveled throughout the American South and had taken more than 2,000 pictures for the series -- improbably beautiful images of the shards of everyday life, in a striking, unexpected color palette.

But despite the strength of the images and support from his fellow artists, most of the series was never displayed or published.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Psalms, 107:23-30, KJV
