The photograph I chose is by a photographer named William Eggleston. Eggleston was a photographer that was known for taking pictures of ordinary subject matter that showed the complexity and beauty of the everyday. His use of color is very important in his work as his images of often contain complementary colors which produce a strong contrast in the work. This particular photograph which is untitled was taken between the years of 1965-1974 from part of his Los Alamos series. These photographs were taken in what Eggleston called the democratic way, which meant that no other scene was more important than another and so he shot was interesting to him in color , design and concept. Originally “The Los Alamos” images were supposed be shown together with no titles or frames so that it would imitate artist’s own visual experience of the world to the viewer.
