MIchael David Murphy has posted the second part of his interview with Joel Meyerowitz. He talks to Meyerowitz about his seminal book Bystander: A History of Street Photography and about the continued democratization of photography as a medium.

“It used to be 35mm, and now it’s digital. The camera’s the same, though – people pick it up and use it, like a fountain pen. Everybody writes something with it; a check, a story, a prescription. It’s writing. And photography’s the same – it’s democratic in that way. Everyone can use it, but not everyone makes art.” — Joel Meyerowitz
