Awkward State.

I work from awkwardness. By that I mean I don't like to arrange things. If I stand in front of something, instead of arranging it, I arrange myself. - Diane Arbus

I had found this quote some time ago, but then I forgot where I found it and who had said it. I just found it again. Anyway, I thought I'd share. I like this quote, and how it describes that we must accept things as they are. In art, if you see something and you want to photograph it (for example), do not arrange it to your liking...arrange yourself to it. Too much tampering can be a bad thing.
