"What I set out to do was produce some color pictures that were completely satisfying, that had everything, starting with composition. My first tries were ridiculous ... dismal technical failure ... All bones bared. But it had to be. Then one night I stayed up figuring out what I was gonna do the next day, which was go to Montesi's, the big supermarket on Madison Avenue in Memphis. It seemed a good place to try things out." — Eggleston
