Thanks, Luis, for demolishing my comments so thoroughly and effectively! I feel we are not disagreeing here on most major points, more that I am unable to express myself very clearly, at least in part because I don't have the background to do so. Your reply gives me a lot to think about in coming to terms with Eggleston's work, which has haunted me ever since I first laid eyes on it. Also just to go further in understanding photography in general. Expect a more thorough reply when I've had a chance to think about what you've said! A. -- Alan P.
