I was google image searching to show DB examples of Eggleston's work after talking about the doc i watched, and came across a series of photos he did of Graceland. The first one with EP in it wouldn't load. Then the Salon article I read after finding a photo included the following paragraph:He had also completed a commission to photograph Graceland, Elvis Presley's monument to bad taste. Though Eggleston and Presley came from opposite ends of the social spectrum, there was a certain poetic justice in the choice of Eggleston as the one to preserve Presley's milieu. After becoming a successful entertainer, Presley never wore blue jeans. Eggleston has never owned a pair in his life. The significance of wearing what are essentially work clothes was lost on neither man.
