Whether you live in New York City like us, or you just like thinking about all the tall buildings and yellow taxis, check out Elliott Erwitt's New York, a compilation of monochromatic photos taken of the city over the course of this photographer's career. Born in Paris, Erwitt emigrated to the United States at the age of ten, and has worked in advertising and journalistic photography since the 1950s. He's famous for the picture he took of Nixon poking Krushchev's lapel in Moscow in 1959 during their "kitchen debate" - which escalated to a point where, according to a 2003 interview in The Guardian , Erwitt thought he might have heard Krushchev tell Nixon to "go fuck his grandmother" in Russian. The picture (which you can see here) definitely captures that kind of tension - I mean, look at that guy standing behind Nixon raising his eyebrows. If you do live in New York, check out the display of Erwitt's NYC photos at the Edwynn Houk Gallery, and if you don't live here, retreat to the nitty gritty of New York streets with his new book. -AK
