"I hope you guys have had some time to think about your final presentations for next week a little bit," Prompto said, once he got the class started for the day, "and if any questions have popped up, that you'll get the chance to ask them today. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with, but, in the meantime, I wanted to use today to take a look at one more documentary, one that'll go over some of the things we've already talked about in class, and that's the development," he was never going to not snort a little bit at that word choice, sorry not sorry, "of color photography. We're going to look at a man named William Eggleston, who not only has a great name, but also really brought the art of color photography front and center. And, of course, we'll take some time after the film to take a look at some of his work and talk about it!

"And, then, of course, next week, I'll be turning it over to you guys and really looking forward to maybe doing some learning myself! But for now, let's get comfortable and learn about the Colorful Mr. Eggleston!"

Colorfully, of course!

Documentary about famous American photographer William Eggleston, one of the first art photographers to use color film.

Prompto's got a wide variety of some of Eggleston's work to look at, so if you've got thoughts to share or just want to pick a favorite or two, or talk about his dynamic use of color, go for it! It's just all about appreciating the craft and the artistry!

"The one of the dead man, in the casket," Stark said. "That surprised me. That it would be something considered art."

He didn't disagree.

"So often death is feared but it doesn't have to be."

"So many of his colored works have that weird yellowish overlay," Arden noted. "Like he's trying to make them look old."

He's there, of course! And trying not to feel a little nostalgic about some of Eggleston's work reminding him of various aspects of Liede and Duscae...
