I generally like Eggleston, but clearly understand why others don't, but the 
crux of this is that it again proves that people that buy fine art at highly 
publicized auctions are quite well-to-do, but perhaps not quite so 
knowledgeable about art. Perhaps Eggleston's work will prove to be a bargain 
at these prices, but maybe not. I think that his photographs will prove 
better investments than Thomas Kincaide's paintings, but we will probably 
see a spike in his prices now. Simply, money cannot buy taste.

And, my money is on these being Epson prints.
