The beach town of Provincetown, Massachusetts, has long been defined by outsiders. A safe haven for the queer community and a getaway for artists, it is a place defined by openness and tolerance. Throughout the late 1970s and early 80s Joel Meyerowitz spent his summers there, roaming the seaside with an 8-by-10 camera, making exquisite, sharply observed portraits of families, couples, children, artists, and other denizens of the progressive community. A cast of characters appear and reappear from season to season against a picturesque backdrop of sea, sand, and sun. Provincetown collects one hundred portraits, most never before published, bringing viewers into an idyllic world of self-styled individualism.

Joel Meyerowitz counts, next to Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, as the most significant representatives of the American "New Color Photography" from the 160/70s. Especially his street photographs he made in New York, his achromatic light examinations on Cape Cod and his "Aftermath" series became icons of contemporary photography. In this documentary, Meyerowitz talks about nearly every series he made in the last 52 years. Ralph Goertz was allowed to accompany the photographer over three years, visited his studios and went out on the streets of New York and Paris with him. The film also followed the footsteps on Cape Cod, France and Italy.

"This historic publication defines an important moment, as master photographer Joel Meyerowitz is the first photographer to document New York City's parks since the 1930s, when they were photographed as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's WPA program. In this stunningly beautiful collection of images, Meyerowitz invites the viewer to discover the hidden pockets of wilderness that still exist within the urban environs of New York City. This compelling body of work is the result of a unique commission Meyerowitz received from the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to document, interpret, and celebrate one of New York City's greatest legacies: the nearly 9,000 acres of parks in the five boroughs that have been left or returned to their most natural state. The images in this book are drawn from the thousands that make up the HP Archive of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation."--Publisher's description.
