Joel Meyerowitz - The day I met Robert Frank

Legendary photographer and Taking My Time author Joel Meyerowitz talks about the chance meeting with Robert Frank that led to him becoming a photographer

[@throughmyeyes9940]

the best speaker on photography

[@pixiedixie3682]

through my eyes John Free is another one , check it out , brilliant

[@IanMcCausland]

Agreed. Great photographers aren’t always great teachers but Joel has a way...

[@persiazad]

I have fallen in love with this man's love and enthusiasm,I can't remember the last time someone articulated his thoughts and feelings so well what a joy listening to him

[@cjoe6908]

Well said. He is great at telling about a moment that transformed his life, and probably passing on his excitement of revelation.

[@boatman222345]

Wow! I just wish Robert Frank were there during this interview to photograph Joel's expressions and hand gestures...decisive moments while explaining decisive moments watching a talented photojournalist in pursuit of decisive moments!

[@Daniel_Ilyich]

Very inspiring! How vividly he described the memory shows how it lives inside of him. It is a part of him. What a sensitive, thoughtful individual.

[@mrmel44]

“You’re no longer lost.” I love that!

[@margueritebeaton8009]

Epiphany of a moment in time...Incredible speaker telling a story about a very unique man,Robert Frank.

[@filmic1]

Lovely interview, Joel Meyerowitz articulates his method... something else!

[@winstonllamas5163]

What an amazing interview. You can learn so much from this.

[@jusren]

What a conversation! I clung to every word! The way Joel articulated everything was absolutely magical!

[@IvanLietaert]

Two amazing human beings... so inspiring.

[@robertbutts9835]

I love how he talks about Robert Frank I admire both artists. But for me it came after experienceing the the work of Vivian Maier and Mary Ellen Mark.. Suddenly the street became more alive and vibrant... Thank you great video and awesome story. I am a Canadian photojournalist /street photographer in Santiago Dominican Republic.

Already a show off person since 1985 when I met mr. Meyerowitz in Rotterdam. " No it is not a problem that the glass negatives made by Atget are lost", he said. The day I met Joel Meyerowitz I will not forget. Jaco van Lith, Rotterdam The Netherlands..

[@pixiedixie3682]

Every time I'm hear him is a moment of inspiration , and his photographic work , honestly , blow my mind off. Because him is why I'm doing street photography .

[@ViaOjo]

Love it - we think life is boring because these small energetic, momentary artistic movements become mundane to us.

[@caryconover]

What a gift Joel Meyerowitz is

[@brianpurdy6072]

Absolutely WONDERFUL clip of Meyerowitz immortalizing the means by which he became, out of the blue, a photographer. Also, a marvelous portrait of Robert Frank and his photographic technique. Huge thanks to those responsible for posting this.

[@asheeshkchopra]

Such a short video and yet so inspiring.

[@Hollywoodtintmobiletinting]

Wow! Blessings boss!! Such inspiring video from the one and only! 🙏🏼

[@TheGyroBarqusShow]

This man made me love photography before I even started, him and Ralph Gibson both are schools of photography if you listened to them with complete attention, they are two of the very people that took photography as a career because they saw the spirituality in it, the human soul, the deep unconscious.

[@lalidominguez8007]

Amazing experience! Thanks for charing!

[@OwenEDell]

Brilliant and inspiring. Thanks.

[@LucaCRaimondo]

He's a Master!

[@richardsimms251]

Great video. RS. Canada

[@TAdams-hx9lk]

Still so relevant and inspiring.

[@santosalvarezleon3105]

Just beautiful

[@mungkey]

I'm so inspired by what he shared here.

[@disneytoytrain2735]

me too.

[@toomuchrose]

What he says, he says very well. What Joel Meyerowitz photographs doesn't blow my skirt up but I have to say that it was a Robert Frank photograph that first electrified me and inspired me to be a photographer. A picture of a small girl running away from a funeral car that he shot in London. So I understand his ecstatic revelation.

[@xddd9277]

god that's poetic

[@LandArchitect]

Great Story, Love to listen to Joel

[@maruscabizzarri521]

fantastic!

[@SPRAYPSALM777]

RIP RObert Frank

[@santosalvarezleon3105]

Fantastic

[@Aficionados9]

Beautiful!

[@bruta1ny]

so beautiful story

[@user-pp9un9hd3r]

I've been following the coronavirus updates from Dr. Fauci. (director of NIAID) and his voice and way of speaking reminds me of Joel Meyerowitz.

[@martingreenberg870]

Listening to Joel’s origin story is amazing. He describes his life being changed by a chance encounter. How do you give up your life on the spot? As he says, “Off the radar.” I can’t fathom how you can one day you are an art director and later that day you quit and decide you are a photographer. All this and he didn’t own a camera. I don’t understand this. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@Iggy_Garcia]

He must have loved that precious Pentax.

[@Steyreon]

just wow.

[@ronmasters751]

Wow!

[@_ped_]

wow

[@WhiteyRavensTH]

Do you guys think my boss will offer me a Leica if I tell him that I leave to become a photographer ? Worth a try :-)

[@ViaOjo]

WhiteyRavensTH 😆

[@Smaug1]

People are too selfish, these days. :-( That will never happen again.

[@aquilifergroup]

Wow

[@samhardy2479]

That was good

[@BGTuyau]

Where are the photos Frank was taking?

[@1markpower]

Let me throw in a wrench here. A good photographer ( Meyerowitz) but a man who loves the sound lf his own voice. It’s as if he’s standing back and listening to himself admiringly. So much of what he says seems to be for effect rather than conveying real feelings or thoughts. I would add that everyone who met Robert Frank either in person or through his photography never forgot him.

[@Cali62825]

If you’re still around…I get your comment. We can’t like EVERYONE. I love Winogrand but I can’t stand his talking. Cheers!😊
