The idiom goes a picture is worth a thousand words. In the case of Bill Eppridges a thousand words are not nearly enough to capture what each of his picture is conveying. Weather it be the Bobby Kennedy's lifeless body or Mr. Eppridges cat sprawled out a bed, each picture has a story. I find this aspect of photography to be the most integral in the success of a given piece. The most amazing part about Bill Eppridges amazing carrier is the vast array of topics and stories he captured with the lens of his Nikon camera. During the presentation i was transported to the Kenyan savanna, life of heroin addict, core racism in the 60’s, muddy hills of wood stock, dressing of Barbra Streisand. His ability to capture so many of the defining moments of the past 50 years is just remarkable.
