William Eggleston

The photo by Eggleston of the car chained to the telephone pole makes me wonder about life in Louisiana- was it plagued by theivery so much that people had to resort to chaining their car? The colors in this photo give off a somber mood, with the muted aquamarine car and beiges in the cement, the only bright spot is the tail lights. My eyes stop imediately on them before I can continue looking further into the photograph. I have to wonder what Eggleston was thinking as he shot the Los Alamos group of photos. Alot of photographers focused ( and still do ) on the beautiful things, people, and places. I think he wanted to document a more normal view of people and what they see in dailey life.

Tropical Floor Plant



Ok, so here it is. My photo of the dying plant in the Arts and Sciences building. The dull yellow leaves are from watering too much in the past, while the droop of the green leaves is caused by the present lack of water. I feel a pressing need to take over the care of this poor plant...
