Elliott Erwitt, Whose Photos Are Famous, and Often Funny, Dies at 95

His camera could freeze moments in history, but he also had an eye for the humor and absurdity of everyday life. Dogs were a help there.

True. Still sad to lose one of the greats.

I liked a lot of his photos.
More than most photographers.

When my wife mentioned this I didn't have a clue. Wow, I sure recognize his work!

What a cool guy. He led a great and long life, and made so many classic images.

Photographers seem to regularly hit a pretty high age, if they don't get shot or blown up or beat nearly to death or drink themselves to death (I thing Gene Smith covers at least three of those). The world was lucky to have him so long.

This is the picture that introduced me to his work. His sense of humor and lightheartedness are unmatched
