The Ironic masterpieces of Elliott Erwitt

Photographers like to say that they carry cameras everywhere with them so as not to miss some good shot. It seems that the famous photographer Elliott Erwitt never let the camera out of his hands at all, because his pictures are real masterpieces.

Elliott is known mainly for his black and white photographs. However, in a recently released book called "Color", you can also see color pictures worthy of admiration and attention. Several photos from the new book are published in this issue. The captions are also taken from the book — Elliott doesn't like verbose comments, he wants the picture to speak for itself.
