Eggleston’s terse, deadpan responses reveal so little beyond his disinterest in the exchange that readers might be left wondering: Why did he bother? One possibility is that he needs to come out periodically and remind everyone that he doesn’t talk about his work, so stay the heck away

Limited Edition Photographs
Limited Edition Photographs
The whole Eggleston-Sobel imbroglio is, to my mind, simply another reason why photographers should never limit their editions. Imbroglio is a word I like: it’s pronounced im-BRO-lee-oh, and it means “a confused heap.” It’s what Oliver Hardy means when he.

Limiting the edition size does help you sell a few more photographs—except in the case of your most popular photographs. Which are the ones that will make the lion’s share of whatever money you’ll ever earn from print sales

Speaking with reporters as they exited the museum Tuesday, young visitors were near unanimous in their praise for the facility and the activities it offered. “They had all sorts of cool outfits to dress up in and fun things to play with,” said 9-year-old Dylan Titus as he held up a black-and-white photograph of himself wearing a studded codpiece and a boa constrictor over his shoulders, which was taken at the museum’s Mapplethorpe Juniors Photo Booth. “I got to play with a real bullwhip, too.

The world is there to be watched, to be seen; and a good photographer will visually organize its content into pictures that make us see what we could but usually don’t see. And crucially, one can try to take apart a good photograph and figure out how it operates, but it will still work afterwards
