I always love listening to Joel Meyerowitz speak, but this is the best interview I've seen with him to date. Thanks Hugh, Joel and Leica.

Incredibly important interview; thank you Hugh for letting the man have room to share with us. Thank you Leica Camera USA for undertaking this series.

I learned all I need to know about Joel Meyerowitz from watching a previous Leica launch event. He stood around after the festivities had ended, and the celebrities had left, and spoke to a young "unimportant" man for quite some time - as if that young man were the most important person in the world. He didn't have to do that. Being a *great* photographer is nice, but, Mr. Meyerowitz impressed me more as being great person...

great interview.... I can not believe he is 82..... he acts and speaks like a 40 year old. Thank You Hugh for bringing him to us.

Incredibly interview, so insightful. THANK YOU. HUGH, JOEL you are both amazing and influential masters of the art of photography

Mr. Meyerowitz is incredibly wise and inspiring beyond words. I have encountered him on Instagram and he is unfailingly gracious. Which is mind-blowing because he is so famous but not once, not twice but several times he has revealed himself to be a good and generous man. Saludos de Costa Rica.

A very inspirational podcasts. Thank you for sharing.

Two greats have a conversation. Time limit extended, interviewer is great at the task. Well done and Mr. Meyorowitz is so vibrant.

Thank you Leica for this wonderful series of conversations about photography and photographers. Just love it.

Such a great conversation! ... Like a gift ..🔸

It has taken me several interviews to know how to listen to Joel. But once you know how to "hear" him there is so much information in stories/processess.

Amazing interview Joel is fantastic and you Hugh are a terrific interviewer, I loved your style and the way you stayed out of the way of this brilliant man. Thank you. And thank you Leica. Stephen🇦🇺

OMG! Fabulous interview. Completely mesmerizing. Thanks to both of you for sharing so many wonderful and inspiring stories.

What a brilliant man he is. Few artists can express themselves and talk about their work with such clarity; Meyerowitz is is one of the greats. Thanks Hugh for the excellent interview.

Joel is an amazing inspiration of humanity and human connection.

Just a superb broadcast. Could listen to you both for hours. Can't remember the last time I sat still, very still, for over an hour. Dense and articulate. Distilled wisdom. Priceless and inspiring thank you 👌

Thank you for having the privilege of listening to a great photographer and human being. Thank you too to Leica and Hugh

Wow! What an amazing journey! Awesome interview!

Joel and Hugh are a perfect combination. Wish this was a weekly running conversation.

One of the best Joel Meyerowitz interviews I’ve seen. Loved the extra info in his origin story of how he was favored at the design agency by the owner. I’ve never heard that part, only the part where he meets Robert Frank for the first time. Also, great story about the girl at the party image. Meyerowitz is always inspiring.

Excellent interview that clearly illustrates the complex process of creating a life dedicated to photography. Grace and seriousness, generosity and honesty with which Joel Meyerowitz tells us about his life experiences and work, an admirable example of a man who has dedicated his life to a job that is much more than telling visual stories is living them; Joel has made us experience everything behind his memorable images. I also congratulate Hugh Brownstone for the successful interview and of course Leica Camera who is part of the history, memory and visual culture in the world. Applause.

One of the best conversations yet. Great interview of a great artist.

Wow, what a spectacular interview. Hugh, fantastic job. Joel is such an inspiration. Love, love, love.

About the point that its about the human behind the camera and humanity, I agree, I see it as starting with ”why”, why we enjoy photography, instead of ”what” we will photograph or ”how” to photograph it. I believe this is one big reason for Leicas success, you start with why. Instead starting with the ”what” like specifications, its not only about making the objectivly most perfect lens through calculations, its about the experience using it. Its about the experience using a Leica camera, thats why its so hard to describe why you like a Leica camera, it just feels right, i would never even compare specifications between a Leica and a Canon. Both makes great cameras but Leica just feels right, it fills my emotional needs aswell as cognitive and physical, its a experience i want to have. And when you start with why, the how and what seems to work too. Leica just happens to have the highest possible quality in everything they do, but they start with why they make cameras in the first place, and thats about something else then specifications. If you are interested in this subject checkout Simon Sineks talk about “start with why”.

Hello from Portugal. I wish you all the best, Leica gentlemen.

Awesome interview 💪Fantastic insight in his life 👏👏👏👏

Robert Henri! Thanks Joel, I've been trying to remember the author of a book I found and lost long ago + I love that Joel started as a soothsayer for ad execs, and learnt to see like a prizefighter Ciao!

An incredible interview Hugh! I will have to watch it again.

Thank you for this interview Hugh. A good host facilitates the guest to impart knowledge, wisdom, humor, loves, concerns and story telling. Thank you for doing just that. My favorite Carson episode was the one where Johnny let Robin Williams take the reins & in walked Jonathan Winters & Carson knew he had something special happening. Thank you for not making it about the hardware, and above all, thank you for not telling Joel to "hold that thought"! (😉 In jest sir!) This was your best & Joel's best yet!

Oh, this was pure gold! What an absolute pleasure and inspiration to hear these two guys talk. I'm going to watch all of it again tomorrow and take notes. Thank you so much!

Fantastic interview!!! Thanks Mr. Brownstone.

wow joel Meyerowitz Wonderful interviews.

Just fabulous. Thank you.

The best interview ever! Thank You.

Thanks for sharing this great interview !!!

Joel is an inspiration, a great artist who understands the importance of identity in art, individual identity expressed through photographs. Great interview, thanks for sharing.

Masterpiece!!!! Thanks a lot!!! 🙏💙

Wonderful Well worth listening

Nice job, both of you. Thanks very much.

Thank you for sharing... great interview outline... awesome perspective on life and photography.

This was amazing - by far the best interview out there. Finished his course, it was fantastic. Thank you for sharing this.

Joel is such an inspirational artist! Every time I hear Joel speak my motivation is renewed.

Great interview.

Fantastic conversation but wow, the cocktail party story was amazing. 🔥🎉❤️

Wow! I really enjoyed this!. Thanks!

Such a good interview, thank you!

@ 49.36 the European image of a concrete pipe elephant is Camberley Surrey beside A30 road...it has now Historic Protected Monument Status

Amazing. Amazing.

Joel Meyerowitz nailed it when he said that "our" generation wanted to experience the United States.

Joel, I have your book from St.Louis back in the 80’s. Will you sign it for me? Of course I would pay for shipping, I’m from St.Louis. Thanks for the great interview.

Wow, that’s all I can say. It’s all about a human connection.

Forgot to add. Coveting the latest M10, but will see if I can rent a Q2 - need autofocus (old eyes)?

make your own mistakes. exactly. thank you.

Does pathos help to sell cameras & lenses?

I love Joel Meyerowitz - his work and philosophy are impeccable. Hugh Brownstone is just not my cup of tea - not for me, but seems like a lot of people here like his delivery and diatribes so I may be missing something. I appreciate the effort - I just have a tough time making it through Brownstone's droning, but admirable effort with good research and connectedness to the subject.

“...I made a discovery that I was a split personality!” -J. Meyerowitz

Zygotes are the product of egg meeting sperm. Gamete is the egg minus sperm and vice verse 🤓. LOL. I love you both!

The only thing more important than what is in front of the camera is who is behind it.

Wow long intro!

Much more Joel and much less Hugh would be better.
