Untitled, 1965-68 and 1972-74, from Los Alamos, 2003
In his introduction to Eggleston's book Ancient and Modern, the photo editor and critic Mark Holborn wrote that the photographer's "subjects are, on the surface, the ordinary inhabitants and environs of suburban Memphis and Mississippi — friends, family, barbecues, back yards, a tricycle and the clutter of the mundane. The normality of these subjects is deceptive, for behind the images there is a sense of lurking danger."
