N.B. Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt, whose career has centered chiefly on advertising and documentary work, creates images of everyday subjects with delightful hints of absurdity. According to Erwitt, he did not consciously set out to photograph dogs, yet his clear love and understanding of man's best friend has generated a humorous and endearing body of work on the theme to which he has returned throughout his career.
