More from Elliot Erwitt | ‘Jack Kerouac’ 1953

After reporting the death of Elliot Erwitt it is amazing how many classic brilliant shots have shown up and nudged me into remembering him fondly when we met. Here another from the year I was born and boy what a shot; a seminal portrait of a favourite author

“Who knows, my God, but that the universe is not one vast sea of compassion actually, the veritable holy honey, beneath all this show of personality and cruelty?” 

Jack Kerouac
