Another.
I’ve been reading about Dianne Arbus and I love her endlessly. Maybe I haven’t been sleeping much but I spent a good two or three minutes the other day sitting in my room hugging this book of her prints called ‘Revelations’.
I guess books are better when you read them.
She says all kinds of things like:
“Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw… Our whole guise is like giving a sign to the world to think of us in a certain way but there’s a point between what you want people to know about you and what you can’t help people knowing about you.”
There’s something unnerving about people who appear the way they intend to.
