Joel Meyerowitz and Maggie Barrett

Somerset House, London

Was fortunate enough to attend a screening of Maggie Barrett and Joel Meyerowitz in Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other at Photo London, with them and the film-making couple in attendance for a discussion and Q&A afterwards. Here, as it was all over, you can see Joel, as always, Leica in hand shooting. The film was quite moving, as were some of the comments afterwards and it was directly relevant to my project Modern Romance.

Discussion

100th St and Manhattan Avenue, New York

The man in the car saw me passing with my camera in hand and called out to me. We then had a wide-ranging discussion for about a half-hour – or rather we listened to an amusing monologue most of that time with the occasional word got in edgewise by me or the man on the left. We covered all of the issues of the day, somewhat parabolically, with insights into the current regime alternating with arcane, insider quasi-conspiracy theories. Time well spent.
