Synopsis

This classic book of colour photographs of Cape Cod is back in print in a new, expanded edition with a new preface and photographs from Meyerowitz's continuing body of work taken on Cape Cod.

Originally published in 1979, CAPE LIGHT became an instant classic and one of the most influential photography books published in the latter part of the 20th century. Common scenes - tiny figures on a beach, a porch railing against a storm-darkened sky, a blue raft against a summer cottage - all are transformed by the poignant light of the Cape and the photographer's subtle and luminous vision. This exquisitely printed book captures every nuance of color and light in that unique juncture of sky, sea, and land that is Cape Cod.
