This is talk easy. I'm San Francisco, so welcome to the show. The Today I am joined by legendary photographer Joel Meyerowitz. For nearly 60 years, Joel has been documenting life itself, wherever it unfolds around him.

On the streets of New York City,

in a moving car across Europe, the sand dunes of Cape Cod,

Joel has a way of not just capturing moments, but creating them.

You look at his work and you start imagining the backstories of the people in the frame,

who they are, where they come from, at least I do, especially when I find myself in a

museum wandering around alone. And since most of us are still not venturing indoors in a crowded place, I thought it

would be fun to sit with Joel and walk through selected images together, a kind of virtual exhibit spanning nearly six decades of work.

And so that's what we did.

Right now you can visit Talk EasyPod.com or look on your phone in the description of this

episode where you'll see a link. On the site you'll find a portrait of Joel and a

big button that says enter here.

Click that.

On the exhibit page itself, you'll be able to follow along pretty simply.

We've generated time code so that each place in the conversation you can see where we're at

with any given photo. But even if you don't want to look at your phone during this

talk, this is a really special episode to me as Joel pivots back and forth

between his photo philosophies and the images in this exhibit. He has such a good way about him. Even now as I do this

intro, I feel like kind of high from Joel's warmth. He has this love for his work, a love for life that's kind of infectious. It comes

across in every photograph of his but it also comes across in this

conversation.
