Imitating the style of a photographer was harder than I thought, part of it had to do with the area I was taking my pictures in, and the other part was that this isn't my style, it's Joel Meyerowitz's. For some of the photos, I took pictures of "the basics", a simpler version of photos he would take. For example, I focussed a lot on city scenes since he took a lot of pictures of New York City. I tried to imitate some of the harder aspects of his photos too, like lighting.

| This photo resembles the style of Joel Meyerowitz a lot, especially how there is a darker side and a lighter side of the picture. It is also as close to a city-like photo in the Pacific Heights; it's actually hard to imitate Meyerowitz's street photos when you aren't in a real city. Having a lot of people in the picture helped imitate his style, since he often took picures of the busy streets in New York City. |

| This is actually a photo taken by Joel Meyerowitz during the Aftermath of 9/11. This is similar to the picture I took above because of the lighting. There are some darker spots in the photos, but each have one brighter point that really stands out (where the sun is in Meyerowitz's, the stoplight and building wall in mine). | | |

| This is a branch that fell off of a tree during the small storms. It slightly resembles Meyerowitz's style; with a city-like street. The sidewalk is also a good example of leading lines. |
 |
| I took this because it really represented what a city is like. You tend to find a lot of trash in a city, typically when someone chose to leave it rather than throwing it away. Since Joel Meyerowitz took countless photos of city scenes, I chose to take a picture of a scene you would most likely find in a city. |

| This is a picture of a woman waiting at a stoplight. It's clear that she has a destination in mind that she is heading to (she's busy). Like the picture of the milk carton, this picture represents the city because of the busy people it holds. Joel Meyerowitz took pictures of busy New Yorkers hustling down the street, and I thought this was as close to that as I could get in the situation I was in. |
