Here's an item about the Arbus photos of Hubert's Freaks that were found in one of the barker's storage locker. A resolution of sorts though what is happening with photos themselves is still up in the air.

If you haven't read Hubert's Freaks: The Rare-Book Dealer, the Times Square Talker, and the Lost Photos of Diane Arbus by Gregory Gibson, I highly recommend it. It's just out in paperback. This is the website for the book with many photos and recollections of the original Hubert's.

There is a new post on PhotoEphemera: The Nation's Capitol by Lee Friedlander.
