diane arbus

diane arbus photographed strangeness in such a nice way.

"She didn’t gaze at her subjects; she induced them to gaze at her. Selected for their powers of strangeness and confidence, they burst through the camera lens with a presence so intense that whatever attitude she or you or anyone might take toward them disintegrates."

this is the photo that first got me interested in diane arbus. i like photos of nudists, it's nice to see the body in a non-erotic context.
