Something about this picture from Halloween looked familiar when I first saw it. I think I just put it together:Diane Arbus is not my favorite, but you can't always choose your influences, I suppose.
Ah, but the question is why did snap that picture with her standing in that pose? At some unconscious level was I trying to make my own derivative version of the famous kid with grenade picture? I'll never know.

is it really so much an influence as it is simply J's pose?
ReplyDeletethat is, don't feel bad if you think it's influenced by a photographer you don't like.

ReplyDeleteActually, I think it's just a funny coincidence.
