I'm not a fan of her work, but she is an important person in the world of photography, so I thought I would pass this along:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22312908/

"NEW YORK - The entire archive of New York photographer Diane Arbus — known for her images of dwarfs, nudists and carnival performers — has found a home at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The estate of Arbus, who committed suicide in 1971, is giving her archives to the museum, which will turn it into a resource for scholars and the public, the Met said on Tuesday.

The museum has also purchased 20 of Arbus’ photos from the Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco for an undisclosed price."

An old Hasidic story says we should wear a coat with two pockets in order to receive God's message. In one pocket, the message is: "You are nothing but one of billions of grains of sand in the universe." In the other, the message is: "I made the universe just for you."
