A calm jar. I need one of these. You fill the jar with colored water and glitter. When you are upset you shake the jar and have to watch it until the glitter completely settles. The time it takes is enough time for you to settle your emotions.
Mississippi - William Eggleston, negative c. 1970, print 1980
From the Getty Museum:
“If you take off the viewfinder of the camera, you end up looking more intensely as you walk around. When it is time to make the photograph it is all ready for you. This makes you much freer, so you can hold the camera up in the air as if you were ten feet tall…”
Thus William Eggleston explained the technique he devised around 1976, choosing to aim his camera at his subjects while freeing his eye to look at the scene before him rather than at a defined portion of it through the viewfinder. His images are no less precise; here he captured both detail and a sense of space in this recently trod-upon landscape.
