[Leica] Elliott Erwitt

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I think humor is one of the higher and more important type of smarts.
Its really as if EE has a monopoly on humor in photography.
You'd think it would be every other guy as is the case in every other field
but just not photography.
I just cant think of a photographer known for humor working nowadays off the
top of my head at all. Not one.
Another Magnum photog Richard Kalvar has a lot of irony and a lot of darned
near to sight gags in his shots but seems to be a different league in that
respect from Erwitt.
