New Jersey 1966

Elliott Erwitt's iconic black and white photograph, "New Jersey" (1966), captures a seemingly endless line of individuals in white lab coats standing in a sterile hallway. The image, known for its comedic and surreal quality, plays on the expectation of scientific uniformity and order, turning it into a humorous and absurd spectacle. Erwitt's keen eye for the unexpected and his use of black and white film add to the image's stark and memorable aesthetic, making "New Jersey" a quintessential example of his street photography style.
