Joel Meyerowitz: Roseville Cottages, Truro, Massachusetts, 1976

“Dusk, that elusive descent of daylight into darkness, where, for just a moment, the blending of the two held me in thrall to the magical, spectral beauty of the transition. I stood there at the edge of a parking lot by a beach. It was humble, ordinary, and yet for those few minutes I was captivated by the little yellow bungalow and the acid green glow inside the phone booth—to the right was the oncoming evening, to the left the sun’s final pink radiance, and in the center of all of it I stood taking it all in, at the right place at the right time. Which is really what making photographs is all about.”—Joel Meyerowitz

This iconic image appears in Cape Light and is available as a special print offer in support of Aperture’s nonprofit programs. 

When Joel Meyerowitz first published Cape Light, he transformed the art world. His contemplative, luminous images proved once and for all that color photography belongs in the realm of fine art—not just commercial snapshots.

Now, nearly half a century after those iconic summers on the Cape, this masterwork is back in print in Aperture’s beautifully remastered, larger-format edition. To celebrate this upcoming fiftieth anniversary milestone, we are launching an exclusive print sale to bring the stunning, natural light of Cape Cod straight to your walls.

Whether you are a lifelong collector or purchasing your very first piece of fine art photography, we have made these legendary views accessible to everyone. Each print is available for only $130, or, as part of an ultimate summer bundle, you can acquire the complete set of three prints, along with a copy of the newly reprinted book, at a special price of $360. Each print was produced under the artist’s supervision by Laumont Photographics, his long-standing master printer in New York. 

Time is limited: Like the perfect summer vacation, this offer won’t last forever. Sale ends on July 21.

Every purchase supports the artists and conversations shaping the future of photography.
