william eggleston on shooting

I watched an awful documentary about William Eggleston recently called William Eggleston in the Real World. Apparently in the "real" world, you can't hear William talk! That element is just embarrassing for a documentary. In the more traditional route of complaints, It was poorly edited and shot but there were some moments that held me till the end like this one...

When asked by the documentary filmmaker why William only takes a shot or two per image instead of doing more coverage he says,

"Why would I take more than two? Any more than that just gets confusing."
