 Joel Meyerowitz (born March 6, 1938) is a street photographer, and portrait and landscape photographer. He began photographing in color in 1962 and was an early advocate of the use of color during a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of color photography as serious art. {:)} In the early 1970s he taught the first color course at the Cooper Union in New York City[citation needed] where many of today's renowned color photographers studied with him.
