Her very slight smile, her perfectly arched stenciled eyebrows, and her unbelievably sad, sad eyes. If I focus only on her eyes, my own start to burn with the looming of tears. Ms. Arbus' photographs always leave me wondering about the object of the photograph. Who is this girl in Washington Square Park? Is she still living? Still living in New York? What was she thinking at this moment? The questions are endless, but mostly, I just wish I knew her name. Thursday, September 23, 2010
