Diane Arbus

Some really cool photography. I was suprised at how daring these photos are for the 50s and 60s. She was known for taking photos of societies freaks getting really close to the subject. More than what was normal. She's called one of the most original and influential photographers of the 20th century. She taught at Parsons, RISD, and Cooper Union. She committed suicide at age 48, and has a bit of a cult following.

Here are some photos. The twins one is echoed in the Shining. Was this sort of image creepy before The Shining, or did The Shining make it creepy. Hmm. I dunno.
