Doon Arbus narrates: “I had an enormous sense that photography was a kind of secret of hers. I don’t mean that the process was secret or that she was secretive about it because she really loved to tell about it — she loved to tell about where she’d gone and who she’d been with. But that something about what happened when she was there was a secret.”
Or, as Norman Mailer once said following a shoot with Arbus: “Giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like giving a hand grenade to a baby.”
