Here's an article about William Eggleston and the recent documentary, William Eggleston In The Real World. Somehow, the article is better than the documentary. (But from various clues in the documentary, I was able to determine where Mr. Eggleston lives.)

Is he behind the wheel of the car in that photo?
My friend Ashley knows Eggleston (she calls him Bill), and she used to tell us some funny stories. One time, he was living in one side of a duplex and didn't want neighbors, so when anybody came to look at the vacant side, he would casually stroll onto the porch wearing nothing but pink panties and cowboy boots.
Other stories were not so funny; she frequently found him passed out in his kitchen floor, and the adjective she most commonly used was 'asshole'.
That story sounds familiar for some reason. Hey, welcome back, Joe!
Very fine article, you're right, Jay, better than the documentary he's reviewing!
