“Making people laugh is one of the highest achievements you can have and when you can make someone laugh and cry, alternatively as Charlie Chapin does, now that’s the highest of all possible achievements.”

~ Elliott Erwitt 
(1928-2023)

I wish I had asked Elliott, while he was alive, the exact backstory to this image. We always spoke of much more serious topics. But it still doesn’t stop me from thinking that this is one of the funniest images I’ve ever seen.
