Elliott Erwitt

April 5, 2013

Elliott Erwitt, Vintage Cameras, Photography

Elliott Erwitt is one of my favorite photographers.  I received this book for Christmas and I flip through it almost every day.

Elliott Erwitt, Vintage Cameras, Photography

Mr. Erwitt was both a documentary and commercial photographer who began his career in the 1940s.  He is well-known for his portraits of Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Pope John Paul II and for other iconic images.  You can see many of his most popular photos here:  Elliott Erwitt Images.  He is also famous for his dog portraits…One of my favorites:

His attention to detail is remarkable, and he clearly had a great sense  of humor.

His photography runs the gamut from heartbreaking to hilarious–with the “story” of the photo often achieved through an ironic juxtaposition of subjects within the image.

Though you may not recognize his name, I’m sure you will recognize many of his images.

    I really loved that dog portrait, whimsical! You’ve got a couple of cute vintage cameras there too, do you still use them? BTW your stitched header for April is adorable.

      I have several vintage cameras that are just shelf decorations. I’d be lost without digital! …and thanks for noticing the header!

      Thank you–sometimes I wonder if a quilt only blog would be better, but I think I would be a bit bored writing about any one topic!
