Where I Find Myself is the first major single book retrospective of one of America's leading photographers. As the title indicates, it is organised in inverse chronological order and spans the photographer's whole career to date.

It covers all of Meyerowitz's great projects: his work inspired by the artist Morandi, his work on trees, his exclusive coverage of Ground Zero, his trips in the footsteps of Robert Frank across the US, his experiments comparing colour and black and white pictures, and, of course, his iconic street photography work.

The text is all by Joel Meyerowitz himself and the book coincides with a major retrospective show in Berlin.
