Sunset in Granby, Connecticut
This picture reminds me of William Eggleston's work. His pictures show us where he grew up and places that were special to him. This is a picture of a typical sunset behind my house in Granby. It's special to me because every time I look at it, it reminds me of home.

"In the past decade a number of photographers have begun to work in color in a more confident, more natural, and yet more ambitious spirit, working not as though color were a separate issue, a problem to be solved in isolation (not thinking of color as photographers seventy years ago though in composition), but rather as though the world itself existed in color,as the blue and the sky were one thing. (9)"
