This is not the greatest, nor even close to the greatest work Eggleston has done. Perhaps he is given too much credit these days and can get away with a mediocre body of work such as this. After 15 or so images you've seen it all. The color palette gets tiring after a few images as much of the photographs are a conglomerate of Blue and Red (orange) hues found in the industrial port vicinity of Dunkerque. As always with Mr. Eggleston, we anxiously await the next image in our page turnings of his books. It's hard refraining from buying any publication of his as all of his books have been exceptional, including his latest ones "5X7" and "Los Alamos". I would say this one might best be checked out at the Library. Who knows, maybe I'll appreciate this book more upon further viewings, but I'm not eager to flip through it anytime soon again. That is not usually the case with Eggleston's books. Here's another case where an artist is given a bit too much credit and commissioned to document a place that ultimately presents the viewer with very little to chew on. Save your dollars during these economic low points and venture over to the library for "Spirit of Dunkerque".
