On January 7, 1971, Diane Arbus conducted interviews with prospective students of a photography master class she would teach that winter?the last winter of her life?and wrote about the interviewees thus:
...one after another would parade into this empty room like as if I was a burlesque producer or a pimp...their pictures mostly bored me and I had a slight feeling like I didn't know what was wrong with 'em, they werent after all so wildly different from Good pictures, except there was that mysterious thing...I didn't want to look at them, as if it might be catching and I would end up learning from the students how to take just such boring pix as those.[1]
