Having conquered the street and the road, photographers approached the final frontier: the home, the self, private life. This episode is about the pictures that photographers take of other people and the pictures they take of themselves. It's about what happens when photography translates personal relationships into photographic ones. The focus of this episode is the 1970s (the "me" decade) and the 1980s (the "me, me, me" decade) and includes examination of Diane Arbus' "freaks", Richard Avedon's confrontations with celebrities like Marylin Monroe and the confessional diaries of Nan Goldin and Araki.
