Diane Arbus: AP

Diane Arbus, born March 14th 1923, was an American photographer and writer most known for her photographs of people whose "normality seems ugly or surreal".  She committed suicide July 26th, 1971. Her photography was once famously compared to the reaction a child would have to the placement of a live bomb in their hands.

I like Diane's work because it is honest and raw. It does not camouflage how strange life can be. This photo is particularly interesting because it shows a mother in two very different stances. A sort of psychological shift is revealed through her stature.
