“When&I&switched&from&black&and&white&to&color,&the&only&thing&that&changed&was&the&film,”&said&the&photographer&in&1996.&“The&world&is&in&color.&
And&there’s¬hing&we&can&do&about&that.”&Eggleston,&who&spent&nights& in&a&photography& lab&where&a&friend&worked,&watching&the&automaAc&
processing&of&amateur&color&photographs,&says&he& learned&a&great&deal&from&there.&Fascinated&by&what&he&saw,&he&felt&that&with&good&equipment&
and&the&experience& he&had&already&gained,&he&would&be& able& to&produce& excellent&work& in&color.& Thus& was&born&a&sort&of& tenacious&faith& in&his&
