I don't know how many of you know who he is, or what you think of his work, but he's local and has a write-up in a local alternative weekly, thought it was kind of cool. Here's the link:

eek - I mis-spelled "article."
Please, kind-hearted mods, fix it for me. I don't want the man to take my portrait in front of a rusted out '74 Vega on my way home from work and tell me "You look like the perfect model for my new series on 'the pathetic losers who populate the middle states.'" LOL.
I'm serious, someone please fix that. It's embarassing, and the man deserves at least a properly spelled thread title.

"Interesting" is how I view his work. I don't agree with some of his shots, but his Missisippi series was, um, brilliant, I think. I like him more for the fact that he does stuff I don't like/agree with. How boring it can be to turn page after page saying "nice, I like that." Although his sheep in parking lots was a decent indictment of modern American culture. Perhaps unfair, but IMHO at least an honest opinion.
I don't see Soth like Eggleston. More like Robert Frank. Especially Soth's "Sleeping by the Mississippi." A fascinating look at parts of the world. But I can see why a fan of Eggleston would recomend Soth.
