I was fortunate enough to get to The Whitney while the William Eggleston retrospective, Democratic Camera, was still up. The first thing that struck me was how extensive the exhibit was, with his work ranging from 1961 till 2008. I had just gone gallery hopping in lower Manhattan and was starting to get annoyed by the many shows with 10-20 unrelated pieces in an unwelcoming, silent environment. Eggleston's work was well represented and I really appreciated getting to see his amusing video footage as well.
