This surpises me, too. I have a Dianne Arbus mood from time to time, stick a flash on the TLR and head into town. But I always wondered about the nudists, the aylum residents, and the interior photos. You can't just walk into someone's bedroom and start taking photos unless they're fairly comfortable with you. So this makes sense. The current (April 2005) issue of Black and White Magazine has Diane Arbus on the cover. There's an ad on page 36. Stephen Frank, the guy who photographed Arbus at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1970, is selling signed "Archival inkjet prints, 12x18 inches on 16x20 sheet" for, get this, $800 each!!! Plus $50 just to ship it. Wow! The article on page 38 concerns the exhibit at the MET. It runs from March 8 to May 30. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com
