I love Mr. Meyerowitz. He came into his own in the 70's when he began to explore the play between natural and artificial light.

You can not like his work but you can't call him a sell and/or pretend to be better than him. I don't see HP calling you to do a commercial.

For everyone that doesn't like joel's work, well that's nice to know... but saying his work isn't good, is pretty much saying you can do better. When any of you have a name so well known any gallery in the world will know, tell me and I'll say you were right.

I would love to be his assistant since he has tons of experience, more than probably everyone who will watch this video. He is exactly what photography is about.... If you like something enough, why not take a picture of it?

@ziryab92 For me it depends on what I'm photographing, Fuji tends to be warmer, Kodak VC is nice too. If you can get your hands on it, Agfa made some nice B&W. But if you want my top choice I'd say Velvia 50, I do allot of landscape though.

@netando Just bought an H2. Not sure if it is worth the money using film. I must admit, I am thinking about returning it and going Leica M8 instead. Anyway, what film do you think works best with the Fuji glass?

I really admire Mr. Meyerowitz, but everytime I watch this video I cant help thinking the shot he composes for the view camera is a non-image. Too close, bad light. Id love to see if this shot of the tree ever made it, and to be proven wrong!

What i think is a really interesting point about joel meyerowitz is that at his core, he is ultimately inspired by the work of Robert Frank, and the work of Gary Winogrand, 2 of the best street people/street photographers, i would say ever. And he has no problems saying that.

In my experience of people on my photography course and photographer friends always close their minds to other photographers work, because they think it will inspire their work, and somehow they would be copying them.

Joel Meyerowitz with a real camera very inspirational

I respect good stuff, but how can I scale this down to me life?

All I know are those 50-150 year old B & W things that totally show total detail.

I went to a gallery and was blown away by the quality, but it cost over $100,000 in digital equipment I am sure.

I feel like going to a yard sale for a pre-basic camera now.

I like your voice and the clairity and encouragement you have provided, it's entertainment for me, I'm just simple person.

Best Regards

@vichiousfishes The Hasselblad H2 or H3 he is using can use either med format film or a digital back, either way, an excellent camera. I've used it with film and an Aptus Leaf back and have gotten excellent results on both.
