スティーブ・マカリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (スティーブ・マカリーInstagram)「Elliott Erwitt holds a special place in my memories as a steadfast friend, a bold photographer, and a man of unwavering integrity. When asked for advice to offer aspiring young photographers, my consistent recommendation is to immerse themselves in the vast body of work created by Elliott, my esteemed colleague renowned for his exceptional career in fine art and editorial photography. During a memorable week spent together in Australia on a book tour in 1999, Elliott's insatiable curiosity and keen eye left a lasting impression on me. Even at the airport, moments before our departure to New York, he was capturing images with his characteristic enthusiasm. Reflecting on Elliott's legacy, I am certain that there will never be another photographer quite like him, seamlessly blending profound work with subtle humor. As a young photographer, my sister gifted me my first photo book, "Son of a Bitch," a collection of Elliott's pictures featuring dogs and their humans. This marked my introduction to a unique combination of humor, pathos, and compelling storytelling in animal photography. In the early stages of my photography journey, I not only found inspiration in studying his work but also took a workshop with him, which was my first introduction to him as a man and not just the legend I admired. It has been an honor not only to call him a friend but also a Magnum colleague, consistently providing a wellspring of creative inspiration. He was surrounded by his family, both in life and in death, and that was a rare gift to all of them. (New York City, NY, USA, 2011)」12月1日 6時46分
