Traces a key turning point in the history of photography: the young Joel Meyerowitz's early experiments in colour photography.
An early advocate of colour photography, Joel Meyerowitz has impacted and influenced generations of artists. For fifty-eight years, the master photographer has documented the US's ever-changing social landscape.
For a while, during the late 1960s, Meyerowitz carried two cameras: one loaded with monochrome stock, the other with colour.

'But why?' he asked, 'when the world is in colour?' He proceed to buy a colour camera and various rolls of films and to read manuals and experiment with colour techniques: a passion he continued to pursue all his life...
