"I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them."

In late 1969, Diane Arbus (March 14, 1923-July 26, 1971) began work on a portfolio that brought together images made from negatives dating from 1962 to 1970. Issued as a boxed set of ten gelatin silver prints by The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1972, shortly after her death, Arbus believed that the photographs speak to one another.
