The book release is coming. I can’t wait. I remember in my first college photo class, after I came back from an assignment with a bunch of pictures of a white truck in the woods, shot for no apparent reason other than I always jogged by the site and found it curious, my professor Luke Batten of New Catalogue suggested I look at the work of William Eggleston. I checked it out. I hated it. At that point all I wanted to do was make overly lit, commercial looking images with a fisheye lens, often times of skateboarders flying down handrails. I thought Chip Simons was fantastic.

Thanks to photojournalism I’ve fallen in love with honesty in photographs, but really get frustrated by the sensationalist content often produced. People like Eggleston, Sam Abell and others who focus on the “normal” in life, and not the always the pinnacle moments represent the world best, I feel. I can’t wait for Eggleston’s new book. I’m not really a “book head” or totally in touch with the photo art world, generally I would rather be out making pictures, but this will be the first book that this nearly broke kid ever pre-orders. Maybe the new Alec Soth book will be the next.
