Dye imbibition print
The vivid orange-brown color of this dog lapping at the muddy pool of rainwater resulted from the traditionally commercial dye transfer process that William Eggleston used. Given the non-chemical, handmade nature of the process, irregularities and unnatural colors occurred, usually to the photographer's pleasure. Eggleston used this image in his publication, William Eggleston's Guide.
