If you are in London between 26 June - 17 August 2012 this looks well worth a visit.

that would be a good day out to see this....
Here's an article about what cameras she used and when.

I'm always interested in seeing how a photographer evolves with cameras if they do.

Thanks Phil!

Nice heads up Phil and you know I like the Timmy Taylor gallery... ;)

Thanks Phil.

I've never been to the gallery but, as it comes recommended by the Miller-meister, I might just give it the once over.... ;)

Diane Arbus is a photographer whose work I've always found difficult. The people in her photographs look so vulnerable and damaged and I always feel voyeuristic looking at them. Perhaps that's what she wanted. However, it's a long time since I've seen much of her work that this might be the opportunity for me to get on board with someone who is widely regarded as up there with the best.

I would say this is a precise way of describing her work  8)

Miller, I think that we both  saw the Lee Friedlander exhibition there, which was wonderful and FREE!

I'll certainly be making the effort.
