Like many students of photography in the '60's, I was morbidly fascinated by the work of Diane Arbus. While I've never attempted to emulate her (and never cared to), I have taken a few frames over the years that turned out to resemble hers -- haven't you?

To commemorate the revival of her memory by the upcoming "fantasy" Arbus flick, I thought it might be fun to post our "Arbuseque" shots. Here's mine. It was taken, appropriately, with a Rollei 2.8C:

Despite her demeanor at the time of the picture-taking, the woman had a wonderful time that evening -- as did her escort.

All the best,
