My quote of the week:
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Diane Arbus 1923- 1971
Diane Arbus was one of the most distinctive photographers in the twentieth century, known for her eerie portraits and offbeat subjects. She first started at a young age with drawings and paintings. Later after marrying Allan Arbus, she learned the technique behind photography. Diane Arbus started out in advertising and fashion photography, appearing in magazines like Vogue. She began to began taking photographs of people she found while walking around around New York City. She was known for going to great lengths to get the shots she wanted. She committed suicide in her New York apartment on July 26, 1971. All of her work is still huge interest, and her life was part of the basis of the 2006 film called Fur, starring Nicole Kidman as Arbus.
