After going through Diane Arbus' album it was clear to see that she gravitated towards the "odd" side of society so to say. Whether she was photographing people in their ridiculous circus outfits or even capturing a brief weird moment in a persons life, she was able to get that sort of vibe from every single photo. Her ability to showcase an individuals uniqueness in a sense is beyond amazing. For this photograph for instance, it was so clear that this was not just some ordinary person. She was able to take a person and capture their moment of simply being them,even if it was something insane like this. Normally people would not go around prancing in an outfit like that, but this lady right here did. She looks as though she is proud of whatever it may be that she does with that outfit. There is no shame whatsoever in her face, the look of pride is the only thing that exist. Although odd and definetly out of the ordinary, the simplicity and truthfulness of this photo is what truly makes it captivating.
