Page 43 Photo - New York City / 1976

Joel Meyerowitz (*) writes about this photo on page 42 ..
During this time, I was trying to make photographs about the 'all of it'; pictures without a central subject. I wanted all the information, near and far, to hold our interest equally, and I wanted colour to be an intricate part of the content. I was trying to unlock photography from the aesthetic of the decisive moment - a difficult thing to give up.
A great book to have.
