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.

Jamel Shabazz

Jamel Shabazz is a tremendous documentary street-photographer, particularly of the black experience in America over the last several decades. His is the kind of work I aspire to. Charlie Ahearn made a tremendous film about his life and work and they both talked about it at the Schomburg Library last Monday, Shabazz with incredible passion and intensity.
