Joel Meyerowitz - New York City, 1965

New York in 1965, a man and his giant poodle.
Wandering through the streets of New York.
An unusual cliché by Joel Meyerowitz, at the start of his career.
The shot is little-known; there’s a hint of Elliott Erwitt in this funny street photograph.
At that time, Joel Meyerowitz was working with Leica, 35 mm lens, like his contemporaries such as Gary Winogrand, Lee Friedlander or Robert Frank.

Joel Meyerowitz (born March 6, 1938) is a street, portrait, and landscape photographer.
He was inspired by watching Robert Frank at work and quickly left his job as an art director in an advertising agency to devote himself to street photography.
Like many greats before him, he began with a 35mm camera and black-and-white film, alongside Garry Winogrand, Tony Ray-Jones, Lee Friedlander, Tod Papageorge and Diane Arbus.
