William Eggleston's Guide was the first one-man show of color photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum's first publication of color photography. The reception was divided and passionate. The book and show unabashedly forced the art world to deal with color photography, a medium scarcely taken seriously at the time, and with the vernacular content of a body of photographs that could have been but definitely weren't some average American's Instamatic pictures from the family album. These photographs heralded a new mastery of the use of color as an integral element of photographic composition. Bound in a textured cover inset with a photograph of a tricycle and stamped with yearbook-style gold lettering, the Guide contained 48 images edited down from 375 shot between 1969 and 1971 and displayed a deceptively casual, actually super-refined look at the surrounding world. Here are people, landscapes and odd little moments in and around Eggleston's hometown of Memphis--an anonymous woman in a loudly patterned dress and cat's eye glasses sitting, left leg slightly raised, on an equally loud outdoor sofa; a coal-fired barbecue shooting up flames, framed by a shiny silver tricycle, the curves of a gleaming black car fender, and someone's torso; a tiny, gray-haired lady in a faded, flowered housecoat, standing expectant, and dwarfed in the huge dark doorway of a mint-green room whose only visible furniture is a shaded lamp on an end table. For this edition of William Eggleston's Guide, The Museum of Modern Art has made new color separations from the original 35 mm slides, producing a facsimile edition in which the color will be freshly responsive to the photographer's intentions.

Cute visor
Size: One Size, Color: Navy
This hat fits my smaller head perfectly. I like the length of the brim and the height of the hat in the front as I have some that are too big. It was comfortable even after wearing it on a longer day of golf.

Really nice, comfortable and well made.
Size: One Size, Color: Black, Size: One Size, Color: Black
I got two of these to replace a couple that I had bought at thrift stores and just wore until they are threads. They're difficult to find anymore unless you buy them brand new. These adjust easily with the velcro, they quickly absorb sweat in the thick band. It provides good protection of my face when I'm outside working during the day in the Sun. They feel like they are quality, the fabric is smooth and silky, the stitching is tight and they're not heavy on my head. The brim is thick enough to block all the Sun, the lining is soft and fuzzy against your skin. Great value, priced nice for the quality.
