Kings Way: The Beginnings of Australian Graffiti (which I posted about previously) is now available in most Australian bookstores for $65 AUD!
For those in the United States, the book is still on pre-order status on Amazon.com, but word is that it’s supposed to go live on July 1, 2009 (tomorrow) so you might as well add it to your shopping cart

If any of you want a large 3″ button from Book It, you can buy one on eBay for $1 (plus $1.95 shipping). I want the Book It button that had a changing picture on it when you angled it differently, but nobody is selling that one. I can’t even find a picture of it (if you have one from way back, please photograph and send to me please!).

William Eggleston is one of my favorite photographers. And though many would call his images rather ordinary, I think the reason why I love his work so much is because he has such a perfect way of seeing the world around him. His eye is definitely something I long to imitate and he’s certainly one of the photographers I would consider as a source for my own photographic work.
With that said, I had the chance to pick up 2 1/4 today, a book published by Twin Palms Publishers that profiles many of Eggleston’s earliest color photographs (the name of the book is a tribute to the size format in which Eggleston began shooting). The book is much bigger than I had imagined and the photographs are just fantastic to browse through. The book is like a huge mass of ordinary places and objects that somehow seem extraordinary through the lens of William Eggleston’s camera.
You can pick up William Eggleston’s 2 1/4 at Amazon.com for $40
