has died, unfortunately. I met him once after a fascinating and very amusing talk he gave at the National Portrait Gallery in London. He very generously signed a copy of his book Manwatching for me - in Russian - I’d brought it along hoping he’d do that for me so I could give it to a Russian friend.
His photos have always been an inspiration. Today I happened to be at the Leica Gallery in London for the Emily Garthwaite exhibition. Just before I left I noticed someone else, who had been drooling at Leicas, leave then immediately come back in. As far as I could tell he’d caught sight of something he couldn’t understand and needed to check. It was Erwitt’s photo of a man in NYC with the head of a bulldog, and he left again with his shoulders heaving with laughter. https://www.magnumphotos.com/theory-and-practice/elliot-erwitt-bulldog-contact-sheet-print/ -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
