"In Erwitt's photographic lexicon, 'personal' means pictures he has been determinedly taking for himself while earning a living as a professional photographer.

Erwitt has been working professionally for others yet still finding time to be an amateur photographer for himself. For him, 'amateur' is hardly pejorative; he points to the Latin root of the word amo (to love). This is photography for the love of it. Or, as he might say, photography made difficult"--Introduction.
