I found some more photos taken by Diane Arbus. These are from 1962-1965 and were taken on her walks around New York City. I like the way Diane often chose to photograph people who looked slightly out of the ordinary, as well as taking conventional photos of children.

The faces of the three young black lads look as if they belong on adult bodies. I like the couple in the second photograph.

That lady sure had an eye. She sure wasn’t looking to shoot just another pretty face. I wonder what was the backstory in that last one. Was the little girl running to Diane or was she running to someone by Diane.

She usually went out alone to take photos, Don. My best guess is the little girl was running toward her parents, but I can’t be sure. Diane did have two daughters, so it might have been one of them, but the article didn’t state who the child was.
Best wishes, Pete.

Hi Pete, the people she has captured in these pictures certainly do look a bit different. The last picture of the little girl running is lovely.
