Elliott Erwitt I
Elliott Erwitt was born in France of Russian emigre parents in 1928. His formative years were spent in Italy. At the age of 10 he moved with his family to France afterward immigrating to the United States in 1939, settling in New York for two years then transferring to Los Angeles.
In the early 50's, Erwitt moved to New York City by way of Pittsburgh, Germany and France (the last two locations courtesy of the United States Army). He settled in New York for good establishing his fundmental base of operations...although 'settling' in Erwitt parlance means "where you are at the moment for as long as you don't go somewhere else". Flexibility and adaptation to the requirements of the profession and personal interests have kept him moving about the globe before returning to base.
While attending Hollywood High School Erwitt worked in a commercial darkroom processing "signed" prints for fans of movie stars. During 1949 he returned to Europe travelling and photographing in Italy and France thus marking the start of his professional career. Drafted in to the US Army in 1951 he continued taking photographs for various publications totally apart from his military duties while stationed in New Jersey, Germany and France.
By good fortune while looking for work on exploratory trips to New York City prior to his military service, he met Edward Steichen, Robert Capa and Roy Stryker who lliked his photographs and took a personal guiding interest becoing significant mentors.
In 1953 freshly decommissioned from military service, Elliott Erwitt was inviten to join Magnum Photos as a menber by its founder Robert Capa. In 1968 he became President of the prestigious agency for 3 terms. To date he continues to be an active member and one of the leading figures in the competitve field of photography.
Erwitt's books, journalistic essays, illustrations, and advertisements have been featured in publications around the world for over forty years. While continuing his work as a stills photographer Erwitt began making films in the 70's. His documentaries include Beauty Knows No Pain (1971), Red White And Blue Grass (1973) sponsored with a grant from the American Film Institute and The Glass Makers Of Heart (1977).
In the 80's Erwitt produced seventeen comedy and satire television programs for Home Box Office. From the 90's to the present he continues to lead a remarkably varied professional life encompassing many disparate aspects of photography. While actively working for magazine, industrial and advertising clients Erwitt devotes all his spare time toward creating books and exhibitions of his work destined for galleries and museums. To date he is the author of over 20 photography books and is preparing a new one titled "This and That" for fall of 2007.
A listing of one man shows at significant public venues include the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Chicago Art Institute, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in Paris (Palaisde Tokyo), the Kunsthaus in Zurich, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Barbican in London, the Royal Photographic Society in Bath, the museum of Art of New South Wales in Sydney, the Spazio Oberdan in Milan, various Asian venues too difficult to pronounce and many others. Private galleries scattered throughout the world display, promote and sell Erwitt's "fine art" photographs.

Steve Jobs II
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Invictus II
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley

Unhate I
What does Unhate mean? Un-Hate. Stop hating, if you were hating. Unhate is a message that invites us to consider that hate and love are not as far away from each other as we think. Actually, the two opposing sentiments are often in a delicate and unstable balance. Our campaign promotes a shift in the balance: don't hate, Unhate.

F.I.L Sendai II
This furniture had been used for many years and was made over 100 years ago, the floors were part of a church for 70 years. There is a unique aesthetic and appearance that can only be found in such things, and special materials along with special products can provide us with joy that stands the test of time.
I pondered for a while following thte earthquake in Sendai if there was anything we could do as a brand.
Similar to things with history, could our product stand the test of time and provide joy to people for a long time. Could we also create a place where this ideal could be depicted.
These were the thoughts I had and over time we found some very special materials that were used to rebuild F.I.L Sendai.
