Summary

This quote by Diane Arbus emphasizes the mysterious and enigmatic nature of photography. It suggests that a photograph not only captures a hidden truth or moment but also contains a deeper layer of meaning that may elude us.

It implies that the act of interpreting a photograph is subjective and that the more we try to understand it, the more elusive its true essence becomes.
