Eggleston's Trike in Krk

At least since my unexpected encounter with Eggleston’s famous trike on a Honda Poster (here) I am somewhat sensitized for those small vehicles. So my heart leaped for a moment when I saw this symphony in blue, consisting of that chinese-made little threewheeler and the harbour scenery and intensified by the red tail light. Of course the trike did not stand in the right position for the image, so in constant fear of an impulsive accusation in croatian language I carefully repositioned it and took 4 handheld frames at slowest shutter speeds from the lowest position possible – difficult without an angle viewfinder or lifeview. The image is not 100% sharp due to camera shake, but nevertheless a keeper for me.

Eggleston works for Honda?

Eggleston works for Honda!

The Honda car dealership here in Munich at the moment shows this poster. It seems that Eggleston’s image material (see the original here on the Washington Times website) was regarded insufficient for the intended purpose, so I guess a talented photoshop artist had to add blue sky and clouds as well as some warm tones to the grass under the tricycle.

Just thinking: Does Eggleston really know?
