LOOK: Elliot Erwitt "What makes a great photographer?"


"Photography is not brain surgery. It’s not that complicated. It’s easier now than it was before, but before it wasn’t that hard. It was reasonably easy. It’s not the ease; it’s what you do and how you do it and how you construct your life and your vision.”  -Elliott Erwitt
