(Road Trip, 1984) A friend and I drove along Route 128 outside of Boston, and we pulled along side interesting cars and I shot a picture when the driver looked over. We amused ourselves doing this and I ended up with a number of kinda cool images. Dangerous? Creepy? Perhaps. But mostly legal, the drivers being in the open and all. Still, i felt weird enough about it that i waited 30-odd years before I ever showed them.

— Diane Arbus
