He was the curator of photography at the museum of modern arts in NYC.  I have never heard that he shot funny photos of dogs though.

As with the case for car magazines, now that there is so much content (and often 2 ways communication as well) on the Internet, why bother subscribing to paper magazines? To me at least, a lot of times the paper versions of magazines seem like secondary / supplemental content to their electronic counterparts.

Not all magazines are fully available online.  Also, for images, I prefer seeing them on paper than on the screen.

Elliot Erwitt is great too.  You can learn a lot from him.  But recently I've been getting most of my inspirations from Martin Parr.

That Martin guy is funny/great.  Some say digital cameras put photography to dead.  But instead Photographers like Martin put an end to these silly arguments.

Does he shoot digital now?  I've only seen his work till about 2006 and he was still using film back then.  But ya, for his style, digital or film makes no difference.

Compared to other street photographers who purposely look for funny scenes, I think he's more philosophical and his real purpose is to portray how we humans live in the current world.  The funny elements are just byproducts of this goal.

Just saying for him the medium doesn't matter.  

Yes, the understanding of how we live and has an eye for it is more important and that is his artistry.  There is now a good scene on Kingsway close to metrotown.  People are lining for pre-sales.

That is the epic centre of the world we are living in.  The end of middle class and the democracy associated with it.

If you have time, go there and look, you may get some awesome photos or a condo.

Ya, I've already studied the line-up culture in Vancouver.  People seem to like to line up for anything.
