Joel Meyerowitz on WNYC
I caught an interview with Joel Meyerowitz on WNYC this week that is worth passing along. Meyerowitz mostly discusses his new book, but he digresses a few times to more general topics. The money quote, in response to the claim that “nature photography is riddled with cliches,”:
The place you are from
“You and the place you are from are not a chance encounter; it is something beyond destiny, it is something so meant to be that it is beyond words.”

I’ve picked up steam on my Outer Lands project again, after having to abandon it for several months over the summer. As I was working on the project through the late spring, I started to realize that the light and the colors were going all wrong. Now that fall is here and things look right again, I am going to push myself hard through March or April and get as much done on the project as I can.
