EgglestonThing

-a common flower store sign in a middle class town

-not interesting

-There is nothing that I dislike about this image.  I really respond to the angles throughout the lower right of the composition and most of all the blue complimenting the orange on the clock.

-He uses the mass of blue to compliment the orange not overpower it.  Without the orange the blue would be overwhelming.  Also considering what I read about him having an affinity for Klee and Kandinsky it is possible that Eggleston is paying homage to them.

- A neon confederate flag against foliage.

-not as interesting 

-the highlight roaming off the composition above the neon, other than that I like everything about the composition and color.  And the ridiculousness of a neon confederate flag is refreshing.

-He uses compliments as the focus here, one more prevelant than the other.  But they relate to eachother and work together by working against eachother.  Also isolating the colors against black creates an interesting color chiarroscuro.

- a open casket funeral

-again not as interesting but more so than the others

-i truly don't have any complaint about this photo.  I respond to all negative and positive shapes, color, contrast, forms, texture/tactile quality, and even the subject.

-Although black and white are not compliments they do contrast eachother and work with eachother similarly to compliments.  I believe that is what Eggleston is capitalizing on in all these photos relation through opposition.  This goes along with some the ideas in the reading like seeing beauty in the banality of his photos.
