I had the pleasure of meeting him at Photoshop World in 2013. His presentation was 2 hours. At the hour mark he asked if we would like to take a break. No one wanted to. He is an excellent speaker. We were all mesmerized.

Thank you! Truly inspiring ❤

Made my day. Really awesome vid! Story, music, pics..a pleasure to watch ✌🏼

Thank you Francis I really appreciate that!

This was really well done, thank you for creating and sharing it! I’ve been a fan of Jay since discovering him in the late 70’s in the pages of American Photo magazine. His eye has always been one worthy of emulation in my view. The documentary ‘Jay Myself’ was a treat! Thanks again!

That's awesome Ron thanks for sharing. Funny they mention that in Jay Myself and how he was on the cover practically every week haha

i literally just screened Jay Myself this past weekend (thank you New York Public Library!). i have watched it twice since. each viewing is another conversation. i am so impressed by Jay Maisel's work along with his attitude towards making images. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

Ah too funny! Yeah same, his philosophy is super inspiring

Thanks for sharing, he inspired me many years ago, having the same background in art/painting I understand his attraction to color with strong light on it, it helps of course when you have a subject entering the scene

Super video! Growing up I was a big fan of Pete Turner and Eric Meola who shot in a similar color drenched way. Kodachrome played a big part and they often duped Kodachrome on Kodachrome to heighten the saturation and contrast. Would’ve been interesting to shoot Ektar for that added bit of color. Nice set.

5:18 It's not a dx, it's a full frame 28-300 lens that he shoots with, but I'm sure you know that cause you actually got the lens yourself :). Good video btw

Didn't you learn anything from Jay Maisel making this? If you want to shoot like Jay, then you go out empty. Planning a route of where you are going (Brooklyn bridge and Chinatown) and looking for something (light) is the exact opposite of what he is trying to teach you.

Maybe. Maybe not. I think Maisel was talking about going out to the street and be open to what it is showing you. I doubt Maisel regularly walked out of the bank and just walked anywhere. Sometimes he’d go to the roof of the bank and make photographs. When I walk the streets I look for interesting looking people or people doing interesting things. Jay would say I’ve narrowed my vision. Maybe seeing an interesting wall with good light should be as important as interesting people. Stay open and you will see it. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
