Sundance showed the series a few months ago on Bill Eggleston & Helmut Newton. Very good! If they show the old series it's worth a re watch. If it's an all new series then much the better. The week long photo series on Ovation was fantastic.

Hey, thanks Cale Arthur!
Hey, thanks Cale Arthur!
It was also my guess that he was photographing with a Mamiya Press camera, but I was too lazy to search for it. I'm a total Eggleston devotee/fan/nut....the documentary sort of took the edge off for me, (the scenes with Leigh Haizlip were gruesome to watch.. I have alcoholics in my family) but at the same time I was fascinated to see Eggleston work and his explanation of "talking" about photographs not making sense was enlightening. OTOH, I couldn't help but recall his declamation that he is "at war with the obvious" and noting that he makes the obvious real, for me anyway. I think he means to say he is making war WITH the obvious.... but, there I go talking about photographs.
thanks again,

I don't want to seem superficial. Having said that-- the Mamiya Press Super 23 is one UGLY camera. Looks like a sort of Franken-camera.
I don't mean this in any sort of negative way. I'm a huge fan of Eggleston also, and obviously he used it to good effect. I'm just sayin'....

re Mamiya press
re Mamiya press
well, after looking it over, it seems like a pretty interesting setup. I like BIG negatives and I haul a RB67 around so the Mamiya Press would seem small... I think. However, I can't see myself investing in one at this time. What I need to do is get back to color film. Not something I do at all at present.
What do you like about Eggleston? I'll go first and say it's the normal wierdness of his subjects/POV and the way he works light. When I first saw an Eggleston photo I knew there was hope for me as a photographer. By that, I mean that I knew I didn't have to go to exotic places to find my subjects; I could just photograph what was around me. My life and locale were every bit as good as, say, Paris or Africa.
