Elliott Erwitt.
Well the images speak for themselves.
Just a picture of a small dog at the legs of the owner you think ?
No, not at all. This photo is framed so well that I didn't even notice anything strange about it until I said to myself, "there must be something absurd with this photo", then I saw the legs on the left are in fact dog legs.
Another thing I have noticed is that Elliot Erwitt seems to enjoy playing around with nudity. This is an example I found of one of his many pictures of people with a bit less then an acceptable amount clothing.
What I found interesting about this photo and what Elliot has done is that, it is perfectly normal to have a group of people painting a nude model, but he has switched it around and made a bunch of nude artists painting a clothed model.
He does this a lot where he put nude people into "normal" situations. I'd put them on my blog but I don't think I should have a bunch of naked people on my blog. Look them up yourself.
Now Elliot Erwitt also takes these really absurd photos of colored people back in the an old America. This boy is hold a gun to his head and he is smiling.
