Joel Meyerowitz talks about the day he met Robert Frank and realized that photography was a “medium that was open to incredible physical, sensual and even a spiritual dimension.” He was so inspired in fact that he went back to work and quit his job as an art director to become a photographer. It’s quite a story considering that he went on to become a master photographer himself!

Here are some recommended books by Robert Frank and Joel Meyerowitz. For more great books on photography, creativity & art please visit my photography bookstore. If you’re a photographer and don’t have a copy of Robert Frank’s book The Americans, you need one!
