there is no word for the extent of my admiration...

















While I missed the book signing due to an unfortunate deviation in my schedule, I am looking forward to seeing the Elliott Erwitt: Personal Best show at the ICP (until August 28th). Invited to Magnum in 1953 by the one and only Robert Capa himself, Erwitt is quite the master of black and white work. He is obviously well traveled, though he settled in New York. Per his website, "'Settling' in Erwitt parlance means 'where you are at the moment for as long as you don't go somewhere else.'" I'm sure this is a show that is relative and comprehensible on many levels; it surely won't disappoint.
