    This small exhibition encapsulates much of what is enthralling, mesmerizing, unsettling, and unusual about Eggleston's work. As has often been noted many of the images look like snapshots that could come from a family photo album -- the dog sleeping on the porch, the roses growing against the building. But then there is the view into the freezer full of frost and frozen food that begs the question, why is this worthy of my attention? And yet the image is riveting. All of the pictures require careful scrutiny to experience fully the composition, the structure that comes from curbs, window frames, clapboarding, or corrugated tin, as well as the potential meaning within the individual photo. Whether seemingly pleasant or disturbing, Eggleston's works reward patient viewing.
