I was watching a Netflix movie about William Eggleston and I just don't get his stuff - and it appeared neither did he. Friedlander's city scapes elude me too. Perhaps there's something interesting there from a nostalgia POV - what did this street corner look like 80 years ago. Otherwise...ho hum. I mean, lets face it - most of America is damned boring. Strip malls and powerlines and intersections. Yes? OK? What's the point?
Nor do I understand the attraction to the photos by this fellow though I would have liked to go on the same trip.
