Off to the states at the end of the week, so thought it appropriate to post some of my favourite work from the  U-S of A.

We start with William Eggleston , born 1939 and credited as the inventor of colour ‘art’ photography.

An inspiration to many , including  Mr Martin Parr methinks ?

Just found a quote from Martin Parr

‘He is the supreme colourist of American photography,’ says British photographer Martin Parr, who acknowledges Eggleston as an influence on his own work, ‘and what he was doing in the Seventies was so far ahead of the game that it was revolutionary. Photography is a generic form and there are not that many truly original artists, but Eggleston is definitely one of them.’
