William Eggleston

NYTimes:
Around 1965, [Eggleston] started to use color film, and his range expanded. This teenage boy is ordinary, but the golden sunlight that falls on him is not: it turns his red hair lustrous and gilds his skin. A prosaic subject is transformed, but unromantically; lifted up, but just a little, just enough.
