Lady on a bus, N.Y.C. 1956
gelatin silver print

This is an earlier photograph by Diane Arbus. The despair and hopelessness, that are so evident in her later work (Wednesday's post), are apparent in this photograph as well. The feeling is not as intense as in her later work, but it's there nevertheless. There's a general disquiet to this photograph, which, of course, is why it's such a good photograph.
