remembering Elliott

Felix, Gladys and Rover. New York City 1974 courtesy of the NYT’s article and Elliott Erwitt

Toronto. The photograph at left was taken years ago by talented Magnum photographer and filmmaker, Elliott Erwitt. Elliott died just over a month ago at 95.

In the spring of 2011, on the occasion of Mr Erwitt receiving ICP’s “Infinity Award” for his lifetime achievement as a photographer, the NYT ran this article, “Elliott Erwitt’s Best Picture? The Next One.“. The article covers an interview by his son (and photographer) Misha Elliott discussing questions from the family.

When you click on the NYT’s article link above, be sure to view the slide show and see why Mr Erwitt’s efforts deserved such attention!

My thanks to good friend and fellow PHSC member, George Dunbar, for alerting me both to this interview and Mr Erwitt’s  death on Nov 29, 2023 at 95 years of age.
