:rofl Some of you may be familiar with this Diane Arbus photo - it's one of her best known.

Well, here's another version of it...[It's my daughter and a friend who decided to do Halloween as "The Arbus Twins!" - This is what happens when your daughter works in a photo gallery! :rofl :rofl :rofl

    There's something about the eyes in the original which dates it even older that the 42 years it actually is; by the aspect ratio and the detail (eyes) I'll bet it was medium format (6x6).

    I'd forgotten about the twins, but who could forget "Child With Toy Hand Grenade…" (shades of Eisenstaedt/Goebbels/Geneva 1933)

    Great idea!
