Interesting Photograph

The one reason I really like William Eggleston’s Red Ceiling would have to be the fact that by all means (as with most of Eggleston’s work), it shouldn’t be a great photograph. However when I saw it at the Eggleston exhibit at the Corcoran, there was some indefinable quality that drew me in. It might have been the contrast between the dark super saturated reds and the white wires, or it might have just been the sheer size of the print. Whatever it was that originally attracted me to it, Red Ceiling has stayed with me ever since.
