William Eggleston     Undated

“A picture is what it is and I’ve never noticed that it helps to talk about them, or answer specific questions about them, much less volunteer information in words. It wouldn’t make any sense to explain them. Kind of diminishes them. People always want to know when something was taken, where it was taken, and, God knows, why it was taken. It gets really ridiculous. I mean, they’re right there, whatever they are.”  William Eggleston

I dont usually bother with long quotations here on Tumblr. But if I had to guess what Eggleston is saying with words, it’s this: The picture says it all.
