"I want to photograph the considerable ceremonies of our present, because we tend while living here and now to perceive only what is random and barren and formless about it. While we regret that the present is not like the past, and despair of its ever becomming the future, its innumerable inscrutable habits lie in wait for their meaning. I want to gather them, like somebody's grandmother putting up preserves, because they would have been so beautiful." Diane Arbus (1963)
