Joel Meyerowitz: Cape Light

This edition features a new printing of the original prints, using digital technology to render the originals. I'm especially taken with the images made at dusk. I learned to use Minor White's Zone System in creating black and white images, and these pictures provide a full range of tones and color at the low end of the spectrum. The images are zen-like and I feel calmed when I look at them. For years I had two posters framed and hanging, and they were ruined in a move. The book more than makes up for their loss.

For whoever has lived on the Cape this book is a complete disappointment. Focused primarily on Provincetown the photos are not representative of the beauty one finds on the Cape and fail to capture the amazing light of the Cape.

Inspirational and incredible images.

Classic

Amazing book, Meyerowitz's studies of the light and landscape show a real love and deep understanding of the landscape that he immersed himself in while living in Cape Cod.

A classic, must have photography book.

Beautiful color photos from one of the original colorists.

Excellent photography!

Good quality photography books are never cheap but this is well published, with amazing work from a real master of his craft. An excellent addition to any photographers library.

Aperture sta facendo un buon lavoro nel ripubblicare lavori che sono diventati momenti importanti nella storia della fotografia, utilizzando le tecniche più moderne di scansione e stampa, e raggiungendo elevati livelli di qualità (interessante che la stampa sia affidata ad aziende Italiane).Le nuove edizioni di questi autori rendono facilmente disponibile il loro lavoro alle nuove generazioni, in un momento dove la fotografia è nuovamente di moda, ma l'omologazione dell'immagine causata dai media mainstream rende più che mai necessario poter accedere alle immagini di chi ha saputo cantare fuori dal coro.

I am not a huge fan of Joel Meyerowitz, but this book won me over. The pictures contained in the book are incredible. The choice of subject, light, camera and film often produce images that are ethereal. The compositions show a particular sensitivity that I have never before seen from Mr. Meyerowitz. This is the only Meyerowitz book that I have ever chosen to buy and after a thorough review I am certainly happy to own it. Highly recommended.

Es la mejor (en mi opinión, claro) obra de Meyerowitz. Sus fotos son magníficas, la composición, la placidez, el color. Podría ser una edición en mayor formato, el impacto visual sería mayor, aunque tal vez otros (tal vez el autor) prefieran una contacto mas íntimo. Si solo pudiera tener un diez libros de fotografía, este figuraría seguro en ese grupo.

Uno dei libri più belli presenti in libreria, un must per ogni appassionato di fotografia. Un mix di paesaggistica e Street che solamente il maestro Meyerowitz poteva creare. Molto bella anche l’intervista (in inglese) che racconta com’è nato e si è sviluppata la serie dedicata a Cape Town. Arrivato nei tempi e ben sigillato. Consigliatissimo
