A quote directly from her is " Freaks are a thing i photographed a lot Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats." Diane Arbus killed herself in 1971.

Assg. 2. This assginment did not go as planned. It started out great. I Processed early. Then I found out that I had the wrong ISO
(my arch enemy) so I had to start over. My reshoot was rushed, crappy, and all around painful. All around it was hard and and turned in way late.

Assgment 3-toning-
Since this one had to come from the same roll as the others so it was hard to find a decent image on my contact sheet. Once I did that it all went smoothly and turned out pretty good. I am overall happy with this assignment. It is interesting to see the color change.

Assignment 3- contrast- This one went well. I got to shoot new images. Daylight savings time is great! It was still light at 5:30! anyway, I am excited about this assignment I think I got some good images.
