I love the colors Eggleston uses as well as the sense of nostalgia each photograph gives. The beauty he brings out in ordinary objects attracts me the most.

Eggleston was born in 1939 in Memphis, Tennessee. I've heard someone regard him as the "William Faulkner of photography" in the way that they both often depict life in the Mississippi, Delta, where they each grew up.
