The Legacy of a Single Moment
The Value of Traveling
A single moment captured by photographer William Eggleston, shows the value of travel and the legacy it leaves behind.
His photo, “Untitled, 1971-1974,” was sold for $1.44 million at a Christie’s New York auction.
You could say: But it’s just a simple cocktail on an airplane!
It’s a lot more! It reveals the simple beauty in the common place, it evokes the sensation where calmness and exhilaration intersect during air travel.
This image not only captures a moment of tranquility and excitement but also awakes a nostalgia for a more elegant and comfortable air travel experience of the past. It’s reminding us of the importance of cherishing each moment and the lasting impact of our travels.
Through Eggleston’s lens, we are inspired to explore the world, appreciate the beauty in everyday moments, and create our own legacy of unforgettable travel experiences.
This image is part of Eggleston’s celebrated Los Alamos series, documenting his wanderings and discoveries during road trips throughout the American South between 1965 and 1974.
The images from this series were set aside and rediscovered nearly 40 years later, published and exhibited first in 2003.
The “Untitled, 1971-1974” photo, printed in 2012, was just sold or $1,441,500.
Time is money! Right?
