Joel Meyerowitz began photographing the streets of New York in 1962 and was among the earliest advocates for color photography as a legitimate artistic practice. His book Cape Light (1978), made with an 8×10 view camera on Cape Cod, is one of the most influential landscape photography books of the twentieth century. After September 11, 2001, he was the only photographer granted unrestricted access to Ground Zero during the recovery operation.
