First Look - William Eggleston - Mystery of the Ordinary

*Giveaway Details Below*
I got my hands on the new William Eggleston book before it goes on sale in May! Mystery of the Ordinary, published by Steidl is a beautifully bound and printed book that I instantly fell in love with!

While William Eggleston is known for his color work, this book leads with some of his black & white photography, which is a great touch.

Mystery of the Ordinary contains some of Eggleston's best-known photos along with a trove of images I had never seen before.
