When color was first introduced to photography many artists were against using it. Probably because it was so new to them, but instead of owning up to insecurities, they claimed it wasn't as good as a classic Black & White.
William Eggleston came into photography around the 1950s and though he didn't start with Color Photography, he was the Grandaddy of perfecting it and making it a new form of art. In taking his photographs, he travels around the U.S., simply in a car and whenever he sees a "shot" he stops and takes it. He has this 'ritual' of only taking one shot, saying you either get it or you don't. He is one of my many inspirations. So please enjoy the Genius of Color!
