Two weeks ago I posted what I thought would be a fun game: Currently, one of my databases has 3,682 image pages, with about 52 records per page. As you know, I often do a deep dive in the archive to search for images to share with you, but, in the original post I asked YOU to pick! I’ve received nearly 1,000 comments with your page # picks (which is more than enough!) I’ve already randomly selected some of the responses, and will continue to do so. For today, it’s # 1,924 of 3,682: “China, 1978.” Page # chosen by @tobinchad

2 MORE DAYS to visit us in 💫Booth C4💫 as we present a solo exhibition of street photographs by the legendary Joel Meyerowitz at The Photography Show presented by @aipadphoto . Drawn largely from Meyerowitz’s seminal work in New York City during the 1960s and 1970s, the presentation brings together images that helped define the possibilities of color and spontaneity in street photography.

Photography icon Joel Meyerowitz shares what inspired him to capture this image in Malaga, Spain in 1967 during his trip to Europe. Joel’s photographs are currently displayed as part of the Sony World Photography Awards 2026 exhibition. Meyerowitz is an award-winning photographer, celebrated as a pioneer of colour photography, whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. His practice is marked by his observant eye, finely tuned to the currents and textures of life. He was awarded the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Photography award at the London ceremony on 16 April. Discover his incredible work shown alongside over 300 images at the Sony World Photography Awards exhibition, open at Somerset House until 4 May.

Known as a pioneering figure who revolutionized color photography in the 1960s and 70s, Joel Meyerowitz was instrumental in establishing photography as a legitimate fine-art medium. As a central figure in “New Color Photography,” he embraced color to capture the “field” or totality of urban life—moving beyond a single “decisive moment” to something more immersive and atmospheric. His iconic photograph “Young Dancer,” 34th Street and 9th Ave from the Empire State series encapsulates the spontaneity and layered energy of New York—where gesture, movement, and environment converge in a fleeting yet fully realized scene. Now on view at The Photography Show Presented by AIPAD, at Polka Galerie [@polkagalerie ] (Booth A4), April 22–26 at the Park Avenue Armory. _ The Photography Show Presented by AIPAD April 22–26, 2026 New York City __ Joel Meyerowitz, “Young Dancer,” New York, 1978 Images Courtesy of Polka Galerie #AIPAD #ThePhotographyShow2026 #NYCTourism #FoundedbyNYC #NYCObjectLessons

Visit us in 💫Booth C4💫 to view a solo exhibition of street photographs by the legendary Joel Meyerowitz at The Photography Show presented by @aipadphoto from April 22 through April 26. Widely regarded as a pioneer of color photography, Meyerowitz was among the first photographers to challenge the dominance of black-and-white in serious artistic practice. His work from this period reflects a new visual language that is improvisational, immersive, and attuned to the sensory immediacy of the street. 📸 Joel Meyerowitz, "Camel Coats", New York City, 1975

Superb evening in the company of one of the world’s greatest photographers, @joel_meyerowitz , an on-stage interview to mark his Outstanding Achievement in Photography award @worldphotoorg . From first hitting the streets of NYC with a borrowed Leica in ‘62, to the villages of Andalusia & beaches of Cape Cod, Joel is a pioneering master of the medium. His energy & enthusiasm at 88 is astonishing, held a packed theatre rapt with stories from seven decades of image making. His memories of being the only photographer granted access to the still burning ruins of the World Trade Centre in 2001, were very moving. Delighted that my brilliant photographer brother @robertwilson9 was able to swap notes on shutter speeds & f-stops with one of his heroes 📷 Stage shots: Robert Wilson
