Joel Meyerwitz
In one of my favorites by Meyerwitz, I dont think this composition could be any more dead on. His sense for lighting gives the feeling you are standing with him listening to the rain and thunder. It's evident in his other photography, that he has been influenced by Eggleston and his color. Passing from left to right over the photo you really get the feeling of the cold of outside and warmth of inside, and that open window that brings the inside out.

For such a simple subject matter I find this photo extremely beautiful. Street signs are so everyday and common but here, Hido photographed them in a way never I dont think is often looked at. This wouldn't be half as strong without the orange signs but that small amount of color makes this something so different then what it would have been if they were not there.
Doug Dubois
The reason I felt this was a great example is because Szarkowski mentions how in Egglestons work, he frequently shows us pictures of aunts and uncles, street signs where his photography could be more like a diary and that Is definitely how I felt about this series of family photos from 1984- 1992. These photos are true and would be just as beautiful if they weren't in color though he paid close attention to colors. The color contrast between the red and green are perfect with his red shoes. This definitely has the feeling of a snapshot, but is so much more closely looked at. Color was noticed here but maybe the subject matter first.
