Spread across three hefty volumes, The Outlands traces the route from William Eggleston’s birthplace of Memphis back to old Mississippi, where he was raised. The Outlands embodies everything Eggleston has brought to contemporary photography, including an attention to detail and bold experiments in colour.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real.
