Description

<p>We speak to renown Photographer Meryl Meisler. I don&#39;t want to give much away, so here are some cool things people said about Meryl&#39;s work</p> <p>Although I will say Meryl is a hilarious human, and that&#39;s a high bar for a person in my book!</p> <p>I will also say my life is much better with Meryl in it. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Rich Wexler </p> <p>Vintage Annals Archive </p> <p><br></p> <p>&quot;A clubby by night and a teacher by day, it was not until she retired in 2010 that she started to reopen her extraordinary archives&quot;</p> <p>&quot; Meryl Meisler captures the moments of intense joy and pure madness&quot;</p> <p>&quot;Whether they are improvised at home, in party rooms or in clubs, the dance floors are breeding grounds for characters on which she cannot help but aim the lens.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;A joyful and crazy work. &quot;</p> <p>&quot;From bar mitzvahs and weddings to punk gigs and go-go bars, Meryl Meisler obsessively documented all walks of life in 1970s New York, finding ‘funny’ wherever she went.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;Everything seems unreasonable and possible. And the photographer takes care never to widen the field of vision and “game” too much.&quot;</p> <p>&quot;Driven by impertinence and humour, Meryl captured moments of intense joy and pure craziness&quot;</p> <p>&quot;Meryl Meisler captures the moments of intense joy and pure madness of the early days of disco and immerses us in a fascinating city and era&quot;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Info about Meryl can be found on her website </p> <p><a href="https://www.merylmeisler.com/">https://www.merylmeisler.com</a></p> <p>I highly recommend getting her books.
