From Tom Jacob’s podcast The Camera Cafe Show:
Retirement usually means less work, fewer surprises, and a cleaner attic. Unless, of course, you’re a photographer with a lifetime of negatives waiting upstairs. And that’s exactly where we continue our conversation today.
In Part 2 of my conversation with photographer Meryl Meisler, we explore the remarkable second chapter of a life that had already been quietly filled with photographs for decades. After spending more than thirty years as an art teacher, Meryl found herself opening old boxes of negatives and rediscovering an extraordinary visual archive that would eventually become books, exhibitions, and an international audience she never expected.
