Eliot Erwitt

Eliot Erwitt was born in Paris, France on July 28, 1926. When Erwitt was ten ,in 1939, the family moved to the United States. Erwitt studied at Los Angeles College for photography and also studied at New School for Social Research for Film making. Erwitt would finish his studies in 1950 and in the same year become an assistant to the US Army. In 1953 he became a member of Magnum Photos and concentrated on dog photography. 

I really really like this photo. It provides a unique view to a very ordinary action. There are many romantic photos of couples kissing, but this one adds a little spice. It's right at that perfect moment where their lips haven't quite met and yet we get to see the beautiful ocean that the couple sees because the view of them is in a rear view mirror. 

This is also another cute photo. I like the really casual vibes from this picture. I think it was very different to decide not to include the dog's head but I like it that way.

This is hilarious! I love how at first glance it looks like the dog has a human body. It took me a few seconds to realize that the dog was sitting in the person's lap but it's still a very cool and fun picture.
