ok i do want to make a quick observation myself though. meyerowitz is from the same generation as winogrand and i believe they regularly shot together early in their careers. if you pull up the Garry Winogrand- Fotograf vid you can see that he also seems to shoot with his camera half up to his face yet in interviews he always says he frames his shots up. i’m just guessing that meyerowitz shoots the same way.

i wasnt saying that you judged his whole body of work based on this one video. what i am saying is don’t judge him as a photographer before looking at his full body of work.

“there is no skill in firing a camera in peoples faces as they walk past.”

look at some of his early color work and you’ll see that even though he does do this, he layers his images well and uses the entire frame unlike some photogs now who shoot at teles at the widest aperture and blur everything out.

meyerowitz was a great street photographer in his day. i suggest looking at his full body of work before passing any judgement on him.

“How do you know when to stop?”
“When you feel good!” Amazing!

ive been doing street since 2005, my advice for self-important americans who dont wanna be photographed is, stay off the streets..

Oh for crying out loud! Why do we have to bring street photography down to this fruitless level of academic discussion. Street photography is only a style of photography – it is unrehearsed, unstaged, and unposed, unlike a landscape or urban scape. Some people like it, some people love it (I do) and some people hate it. But it’s the image that should be enough to capture the interest without all the arty farty conversation. Great images, Joel.

How can you say he’s aggressive? How can you say street photography is dead? I don’t understand. Firstly, I’ve never seen someone who was more like a ‘real life’ Woody Allen character. That’s not aggression that’s artistic neurosis.I think street photography is a beautiful and real form of art for the 99%. It contrasts sharply against the false images of the advertisers and the mass media who try to sell a hyper real, sick version of life as we are told it should be. This art for us not them.

That format of street photography is dead, all it shows is the desperation in the ‘photographers’ mind, exploiting people then scurrying back home to see what they have ‘bagged’ its embarrassing. Joel on the streets of NY is why we get a bad name.. clown hair’d punk freak! Joel the Magnum wannabe. Joel still does workshops today….teaching what? his own furthered, boring and self obsessed mind? *yawn* give it up old man. But yes get the 8×10 out ..slow down and maybe you might get a good shot.
