Default A feel good story

Give it a watch, it will take 9 minutes of your life but may have a lasting impact.

Story is about Vivian Maier a nanny that took over 100,000 photos in her life but never shared them with anyone. Now that she is gone and her photos have been discovered some say she may rank among the top street photographers of the 20th century

Here is a blog of her photos as they are scanned

http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/

I find her work inspiring. A small linked sample is below.









Nothing fancy and no latest digital camera here, just a solid lifetime of inspiring photography.

If you read this far and are interested in more here is one final link leading to the project to complete a documentary on her life.

Pretty amazing story.

This is like Emily Dickinson's story, almost all of her work was only seen after her death as well.

Isolation from peer review and advice makes these types of bodies of work so interesting and unique.
