I'm just starting photography at 62 years young. The reason I began is due to everything you are saying in these videos. I totally 'grok' what your artistic process is as I think it's going to be mine also. I am already feeling the exact same 'stirrings' of my Soul. Thank you Joel so much. Plus it helps me with my isolation to be able to go out and meet others through my camera as I am always socially a bit nervous. It helps me see things anew and sometimes I see things in the picture which aren't there like eyes in the clouds etc.

I really love listening to Joel, he's one of the most eloquent photographers of our lifetime. I grew up hearing about WInogrand, Arbus, Bresson, Friedlander, Herzog and Eagleston but here he is alive and a walking and talking legend. I need to go out and meet him.

Joel is a world class talent, but I had no idea he was so introspective. So many of his perspectives speak to me deep within. Im making a career change at 52 years old into photography, and many of his thoughts are why.

No one talks so completely about about photography more then you. Your insight is so far beyond the obvious. You were a guest speaker at my photojournalism class at ASU’s Cronkite School of Journalism a few years ago. You blew me and my students away with your clarity of thought and wisdom.

I was led to this channel by The Photographic Eye channel. This is the first video I’ve seen … such an incredible conversation. I feel like I been living under a You Tube generated rock of endless gear reviews and a same generic thoughts on photography. This is content I want in my feed. Thank you and keep up the great work.

I’m amazed at how you captured moments on film that were over in a wink of an eye and then be able to study them later. There’s always been talk of another unseen dimension and I think that’s what the camera captures.

Always time well spent, listening to Joel share his thoughts on photography, and thank you Chris Ryan for the gentle touch of moderation. I loved the thread of discussion about finding purpose in taking photographs and discovering what makes your photograph distinct to yourself. Regarding the three prints - the St. Louis one I particularly like as it's kind of how I see the world, but also because here in Cardiff, Wales, practically the national Welsh beer is called 'Brains' as well, so on railway bridges there's lots of old painted slogans crying out, "It's Brains You Want' and such. Again, thank you for sharing Joel, and all the best to you in Tuscany, and to you too, Chris Ryan.

I wonder if Joel saw the 2017 movie 'Kodachrome' about a father and son reconnecting during a road trip. Ed harris plays a cantankerous ageing photographer dying of cancer and Jason Sudeikis plays the unforgiving and downbeat son. It's by no means the best movie ever made but it had some nice moments.

Thank you so much for your images and just being you. One question, the Robert Frank assignment you worked on early, you said you did it as an art director and the following sentence you said ‘ that I designed ‘ a designer or an art director? Thanks so much for all of your availability on the web.

@@ceb1954 For once, it'd be nice if politics were left out of things. I rarely watch sports because, IMO, it's watching other people live instead of living oneself. That being said, I would occasionally watch a championship series or the Super Bowl but only very rarely any regular season stuff. Everything from the MLB to the NHL to the NFL. Even the Olympics is getting so political. And no wonder that the Olympics had their viewership down by 55% this time compared to last time. The NFL is running ads up the %*$% trying to get people to turn in again, and even die hard baseball fans I know are refusing to watch MLB. People watch sports and movies and listen to music for a little break from the cares and worries of life for a while, not to listen to political speeches. And so it goes with photography. The EJI is joined at the hip with BLM and BLM is a Marxist organization so is it hard to imagine that someone would express disapproval at a photographer supporting such an org? I just looked at the EJI website and there they have an utterly dishonest write up of the death of Michael Brown, totally omitting that he attacked that store employee and that police officer. This is a common omission when they try to spin the narrative. I was given, about 5 years ago, a list of 71 black people with the claim that they were unjustly shot by police during one calendar and then another list for the next calendar year. I spent two hours looking up every name on that list and 68 of them were either shooting at police, trying to stab police or hit them with blunt objects, trying to run over police, refusing to drop a weapon, etc. The other 3 I couldn't find much information on, but there was no obvious wrongdoing by police. You can see why I didn't bother with the next calendar year. So this Meyerowitz really didn't do his homework before he supported this organization.
