Joel Meyerowitz: Cape Light | Taking Inspiration; Episode 2 

Hi Robbie. I really appreciate your honest opinion of Cape Light, as a lot of people won't objectively assess work by those considered masters of their craft. I haven't read the book (viewed the book?) so I can't comment on it. However, as someone who worked in a public library for 30 odd years, please never, ever combine sand and a book! I shall have nightmares tonight. 😀

I really like Cape Light. Especially for the summer memories. Great video again Robbie. 😊😊

The Cape makes you work a little harder these days but the timeless feel is still there if you get lost down the right roads! Joel packaged and sold nostalgia between two covers with Cape Light, but I absolutely understand your feelings about the book. Although, it's nearly 50 years old now and I like to remind myself how much photography has changed and give credit to those who paved the way, like Joel!

Let me know if you ever want to go back and shoot more photos down the cape!

Joan! Wow. Recognized her right away. Nice video.

One of my first and favourite photo books, fantastic

Great book, really nice video, I grew up there and it hasn’t changed much when I visit.

Incredible! You're films never, never! disappoint. This one has everything. I love it! Thanks man!

Awesome vid. Really enjoying these inspired by films. And great photos - particularly the ones of the sailboat and rose cottage.

2:33 really speaks to me, love that .

Nicely done my friend! Great video. Love the Cape.

Such a great review. I admire how you respectfully talk about the book, even going to the Cape (no other reviewer I’ve seen has gone to the Cape), but in the end you say the book left much to be desired. Then highlighting another one of Joel’s books that you liked more. This is the perfect review, I wish everyone was so open and respectful.

It’s all in the eye of the beholder I guess. I think Cape Light is a masterpiece.

A great video and I love your honesty and realistic style and comments 👍

Great video! Loved your photos and review of the book. I'm hoping to get the copy of it one day.

You are welcome for the tip. You can also get a GL690 pro with a proper bulb mode, not t mode, and interchangeable lenses. Keep up the great work.

Now I’m feeling besser. So I’m not the only person that has these feelings about this book. I love a few pictures of the book, but some are just „yeah, cool,next“ But I’m happy to own a copy.

Great video and shots, really dig the pool long exposure. BTW I'm sure you may already know but the redhead at 15:36 is actually Joan Cusack.

Time travel is real 📸

I stayed at the same motel last time I was down the cape

Robbie. Those are portraits taken during the week of the class in ptown

Just a thought... The cape feels increasingly less family friendly to me, not in any obscene way, but one of affordability, it has an increasing expense problem. We paid less as a family of 4 to board a plane and go to the Grand Canyon for a week this summer than we did to drive from Central Mass and stay 5 days in Truro last summer.

Cape Light is why I'm a photographer. However, I do agree with you that it's highly inconsistent.

Ro bie. I was just there taking a class with Amy arbus portrait class in ptown took a class with Joel on street photography

Stay professional… don’t burp in your video! 😊
