Depht of field - Photographers - William Eggleston

“The trouble is whatever it is about pictures, photographs, 
it’s just about impossible to follow up with words. 
They don’t have anything to do with each other.”

—	William Eggleston

I have quoted William Egglestons famous words since they reflect my difficulties with proper wording of images I see - especially not in my mothertongue. The way photographs and photographers touch and influence us in one way or another is impossible to capture in full extent with words. A German saying "An image tells more than a thousand words" is oh so true.

Coming to the work of William Eggleston, born as a son of wealthy upper middle class family in Mississippi was the first photographer bringing colour into documentary photography and photographing 'unworthy' objects and subjects. He used the dye-transfer printing which was used for advertising purposes and give an almost over saturated look to his pictures. He used the effects of shallow depht of field a lot to bring the subject/object of interest into focus.
