He's talking about the viewers, not the photographers. what you're saying that her pictures are obvious and easy to understand just because they have someone in the center of the frame. that's not the same. so what ? i don’t think you got what eggleston said. he’s not just bashing pictures that have something in the center, that would be stupid. he’s just saying that people want something easy to understand.

They don't care what is around the object as long as nothing interferes with the object itself, right in the centre. Even after the lessons of Winogrand and Friedlander, they don't get it. They respect their work because they are told by respectable institutions that they are important artists, but what they really want to see is a picture with a figure or an object in the middle of it. They want something obvious. The blindness is apparent when someone lets slip the word 'snapshot'. Ignorance can always be covered by 'snapshot'. The word has never had any meaning. I am at war with the obvious. aren’t these pictures a lot a bit obvious? william eggleston says:
