[Leica] Re:Eggleston

[timswan <timswan@blazenetme.net>]

ps- The whole reason this discussion is on-topic is that almost all of 
Eggleston's photography is done with Leica's.

From the hasselblad site: William Eggleston and members of his family, 
were shown around the assembly department finishing with a demonstration 
of the Hasselblad Camera System. The visitors also had the opportunity to 
see the spectacular Hasselblad Multi-Image Show "Beyond Words", shown for 
the first time at the photokina exhibition in Cologne in September 1998. 
Although William Eggleston is perhaps more known to the public as a 35 mm 
photographer, he has declared a sincere interest to start using the 6x6 
square format again. This will now be possible with the brand new 
Hasselblad 501CM which he was presented with during his factory visit.

On the 6th of March, William Eggleston received the Hasselblad Foundation 
International Award in Photography 1998, presented by the Swedish 
princess Desirée, at an impressive prize ceremony in Göteborg.
