“Dogs have more to do than children. For one thing, they are focused to lead a life that is really schizoid. Every minute, they have to be on two planes at once, juggling the dog world against the human world. And they’re always on call. Their owners want instant affection everyday, any time of day. A dog can never say that he has other things to do. He can never have a headache, like a wife.”
~ Elliott Erwitt
One of Elliott’s most elegant images of dogs. I have always thought that Elliott’s success in this genre which he has somewhat made his own is that he treats them just the same way as he treats his most celebrated human subjects. Each photograph is taken with great respect and empathy and Elliott's piercing intelligence.
