Diane Arbus has influenced my photography style greatly, showing the importance of being original and authentic. She once said, "A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know." I have always taken this quote to heart.

Like all art, her work is best seen in person. For Diane Arbus fans in San Francisco, there is an exhibition of her early work shown at Fraenkel Gallery in January 2010. The gallery also has a collection of rare Diane Arbus photography on their website.
