Was the film the most recent one?


I saw Eggleston shot in Reed college in 1976in Oregon the lights were dimmed
down there were dye transfer prints. He didn't make them.

He is now shooting 5x7 large format.
And having 20x24 inch dye transfer prints made from them.

Not so much being called "snap shots".
