Hi Rob, Eggleston is quite weird to me. Sometimes I like a lot his work, others I dislike it. Maybe that's what he's aiming to. Anyway his images are always well done, technically superb... well maybe what it bothers me of his work is the way the subject looks, or just the subjects or whatever else. But I feel he's a very good photographer despite of my personal tastes. Some social or sociologist thing in there is well treated. regards Pablo - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
