World-renowned photographer Elliott Erwitt has photographed a wide variety of subjects, from major historical figures to Parisian passersby and poodles. Erwitt presented personal favorites and well-known pieces at the Harry Ransom Center on Thursday night.

Erwitt joined the Magnum Photos agency in 1953, and his photos will be archived along with other Magnum pieces at the Ransom Center.

Photographer Eli Reed normally lets his photos do the talking, but he made an exception during a presentation Wednesday about the Harry Ransom Center’s Magnum Archive Collection.

Reed, a UT photojournalism professor and Magnum photographer, has many of his own photos on display along with hundreds of others at the center. Magnum Photos is a renowned and innovative photographic cooperative that has covered major events of the 20th century, according to the Ransom Center website. The Ransom Center acquired and announced the Magnum Archive Collection a year ago.
