“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.” Diane Arbus 1923-1971 ¶ Arbus was known for taking photographs of unusual people. Giants, twins, intellectually handicapped people, circus people. The term at the time was freaks. But she also took pictures of regular people too.

Who would she photograph? ¶ Here is an online book of some of her best work: http://diane-arbus-photography.com/
