William Eggleston's work captures the social and cultural aspects of life in the south by giving off a sense of loneliness in a world full of color and life.
"A pictures says a thousand words." Whether Eggleston wanted too or not he told a story through his photography and in that story he captures the social and cultures aspects of life in the south.
Susan Sontag refers to photography as a way of life, and Eggleston shows life in his photography. In a way photography can be classified as an open door to a world where a picture is more important than the real thing. Where people spend more time photographing an object rather than admiring and absorbing the beauty of the object itself.
