Elliott Erwitt, New Rochelle, NY, 1955 A nice domestic scene with his wife and kids. Erwitt’s son Misha interviewed him about this photo: Misha: You took a photograph in 1955 of our mother cooking dinner, her back to the camera. She has Ellen, who’s crying, in one arm and she’s reaching into the oven with the other. I’m sitting behind them in a high chair and there’s another kid standing, watching. What’s the back story to that photo? Also, you were traveling all over the world, on the road constantly. What was it like to come home from an exotic locale to a house full of screaming kids? Elliott: There is no story behind that photo, just a moment of the normal chaos of a family with numerous children. I loved coming back home to screaming children. I don’t know about you, but it boggles my mind to see that women actually (as opposed to being in ads) wore heels and dresses just to cook and carry around screaming toddlers back in the day.

life: Having conquered America during their brief but historic first visit, John, Paul, George and Ringo relax in a Miami Beach pool in February 1964 before returning to London. See more here. (John Loengard—Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images) C’mon LIFE, the real story, which you also published, is much more interesting: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr take a dip in an unheated Miami Beach swimming pool during a cold snap on their first trip to the States. “We could not find a heated pool that could be closed off from the rest of the press,” photographer John Loengard later said of this picture, “so we settled for one that was not … [and they] started turning blue.” Just look at Ringo’s expression.
