I can't really see how Diane's name could possibly be mentioned along with
Witkin, who is, IMHO, a complete psychopath and a prime candidate for expulsion
from Plato's Republic. . As for Diane's "influences," no one has yet to
mention Josef Breitenbach, a little-known but brilliant old-world European who
taught photography for many years at the New School along side Diane's mentor,
Lisette Model. The connection with Britenbach is most clearly shown in his much
earlier pictures shot in New Jersey nudist colonies. Arthur
