I wanted to go back to the Diane Arbus exhibit in the city one more time. For two reasons. I found out after leaving the first time there was a 90 minute film that was playing where the former student of hers who printed all of the 450 prints in this show was talking about her work and the way she saw her subjects. And I wanted to carefully make sure I had looked at each and every photograph in the show. The last time I realized that I missed a number of images because it was hard to make sure I had walked in and around all the structures that held the photos. So I did all that. It was exhausting but it felt good to see it the first time. I am so lucky. So I spent my day in the exhibit and then I come home. But I am not done - I have all the photographs I took of the show and people at the show and I was so excited to look at my camera cards and find some interesting photographs that I know I took. And this is a favorite! There is a huge digital screen taller than a person and every 15 seconds it shows another cropped face, just showing the eyes. So I found a spot and watched the scene and every time someone walked in front of the screen I took a photograph. I love this one! What do you think? I am finally giving you a *real* photograph for a change. Please click on it - it is a larger image than most.
