Joel Meyerowitz

Joel Meyerowitz- Born in 1938 in New York City, the award-winning artist made a push in the 1960's with use of modern color photography. He graduated from Ohio State University in 1959 with a degree in painting and medical illustration. Uses mostly a 8x10 large format camera to produce his images.

 This photograph draws my attentions with it's use of color and contrast.  Also how everything is in focus.  It has somewhat of a symmetrical look to it though there are notable differences on either side.  It shows how dated the photograph is, since the car must have been from the late sixties to the seventies.   But overall I feel the red car weighs down image successfully along with the two neutral colored houses on both sides, creating an appealing image compositionally.
