I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. There's a quality of legend about freaks. Lke a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle.
Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatifc experience.
Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. Born in New York City in March of 1923, Diane Arbus grew up in Central Park West. Supporting the family was her father, who owned a 5th Avenue department store. At the age of 14, Arbus met her future husband Allan Arbus, who she would marry in four years.
