The myth makes it bigger but when you go in there, you know where you are. I've been in many places bigger than that and it ain't the same.

William Eggleston (1983)

You can take a good picture of anything. A bad one, too... I want to make a picture that could stand on its own, regardless of what it was a picture of. I've never been a bit interested in the fact that this was a picture of a blues musician or a street corner or something.
