Summary
Where I Find Myself is the first major single book retrospective of one of America's leading photographers。 It is organized in inverse chronological order and spans the photographer's whole career to date: from Joel Meyerowitz's most recent picture all the way back to the first photograph he ever took。 The book covers all of Joel Meyerowitz's great projects: his work inspired by the artist Morandi， his work on trees， his exclusive coverage of Ground Zero， his trips in the footsteps of Robert Frank across the US， his experiments comparing color and black and white pictures， and of course his iconic street photography work。 Joel Meyerovitz is incredibly eloquent and candid about how photography works or doesn't， and this should be an inspiration to anyone interested in photography。

Stunning。 Joel Meyerowitz is a philosopher with a Leica。

This book is the epitome of a coffee table photobook。 This is a must for any street photography fans and essential for Joel Meyerowitz fans。 The content will allow for re-reading many times。

Excellent retrospective of Meyerowitz work。 It's a big beautiful book that cries out to be looked at and read。 An early advocate of colour， Joel's images are a feast。 This is an artist who lives for his art and it shows in this book。 Someone has made the point already that commentary and text is not overpowering unlike some retrospectives。 The balance here is just right。 Highly recommended。 Excellent retrospective of Meyerowitz work。 It's a big beautiful book that cries out to be looked at and read。 An early advocate of colour， Joel's images are a feast。 This is an artist who lives for his art and it shows in this book。 Someone has made the point already that commentary and text is not overpowering unlike some retrospectives。 The balance here is just right。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

Versatile old school street and travel art photography of the 1960s+。 If you like Robert Frank， Garry Winogrand， Robert Adams。。。。

Incredible words and of course images。 Meyerowitz is a poet， literally and photographically。 The intense wisdom inside the small text passages accompanying spellbinding images left craters inside my psyche。 I've been a photographer for almost 15 years and the days are few and far between when something changes my perception of the medium， today was one of those days。 Incredible words and of course images。 Meyerowitz is a poet， literally and photographically。 The intense wisdom inside the small text passages accompanying spellbinding images left craters inside my psyche。 I've been a photographer for almost 15 years and the days are few and far between when something changes my perception of the medium， today was one of those days。 。。。more

Really beautiful （and huge） book of street photography （with a few other portraits and landscapes，etc mixed in。） I love how instead of the usual pair of essays by critics/curators （which seem to be obligatory in most photography books） we actually have small paragraphs of commentary by the photographer on individual images or on chapters。Anyway， really great collection of work from the ‘60s to a few years ago， in B&W and color。 There’s also a great story about how watching Robert Frank shoot （ph Really beautiful （and huge） book of street photography （with a few other portraits and landscapes，etc mixed in。） I love how instead of the usual pair of essays by critics/curators （which seem to be obligatory in most photography books） we actually have small paragraphs of commentary by the photographer on individual images or on chapters。Anyway， really great collection of work from the ‘60s to a few years ago， in B&W and color。 There’s also a great story about how watching Robert Frank shoot （photos for an ad） inspired him to pursue street photography。 。。。more
