A truly excellent eye

I was reacquainting myself with Diane Arbus and learned she had a daughter, Amy, who also became a photographer. This book is a collection of photos of truly unique, one of a kind homes and some of their owners. Ms. Arbus has an excellent eyes. Since the book was published in 1986, it is almost an antique, styles having changed so much. It would be interesting to know what happened to some of these homes and their owners. The photography is well done. All staged shoots and the captions are required to understand what is being shown. But it's excellent work, nonetheless. Jerry
