Interview with Eggleston by Drew Barrymore.

[raid]

In the end, it's all about the images and not the specifics used.

Thanks for that. I had no idea Drew Barrymore was a serious photographer. Must investigate further. 🙂

Yup, I read somewhere she's built her own darkroom too. I'm going to marry this woman one day. That is if Tom Green hasn't soured her feelings towards Canadians.

She must be little ... she makes that Pentax look big! 🙂

i now officially love her THIS much. that was a great little interview.

Very hard to find her photos as the logical Google search just turns up endless pictures of her. Already we have a bit of a fan base developing here, not counting me as I was already a fan.

The Wedding Singer?

Actually that is the only Adam Sandler Movie I've ever seen that didn't make me grind my teeth ... it was quite good and as you say Drew is indeed wonderful and not your atypical Hollywood starlet. 🙂

Yes, I think so Keith, I don't go out of my way to watch Sandler movies (to be honest I go out of my way not to see them if I possibly can). Grinding teeth sums them up perfectly for me too although the delightful Ms Barrymore is always a joy to watch and listen to. When I read she likes to photograph with film I fell in love with her all over again.

Maybe you should re-name this thread the "Drew Barrymore Appreciation Thread"? 😉
Cheers

Nice interview. They clearly had a rapport in the time they spent together.

In spite of the views expressed by both of them, I will continue to crop to my hearts content!

Drew's great. I watch her & Robert Osborne on TCM "The Essentials" She is the best C0-host.

I love Adam Sandler movies. I've watched a few of them with my kids. In Billy Madison he rings up his old pals and apologizes for slights and insults of long ago. Steve Buscemi plays the scary recipient of one of these calls. Its a brief and very cordial conversation, with what appears to be a mature former classmate who has forgiveness within him. Buscemi hangs up the phone and turns to his list, stuck to the wall beside his bed, 'People to kill before I'm 40' and he carefully crosses off Billy Madison's name.

The very different 'Punch Drunk Love' was a good film.

Others have tried to make him talk and all they got were grunts and mumblings. Eggleston is a good raconteur when he's with company he likes. And he liked that company, that much is clear.

HCB's photos are great, but I've never liked the preachy attitude regarding what photography is supposed to be.

Same here. Conviction about aesthetic choices is one thing, carrying that conviction with moral certainty to militate against others quite another. Kindergarten stuff, futile too.

Thanks for the link, Keith. It's always nice to have more reasons to be a fan of Drew Barrymore... and Eggleston's not bad either 😉

loved that HCB quip 🙂

Pompous ... as you would expect! 😀

I think if HCB made that remark here, he would have been called a troll 😉.
