I may wonder about the hype surrounding Vivian Maier, but whenever I actually see her work that goes away. Back story aside, she was simply a very fine photographer and left us an amazing and vast photographic essay of Chicago as a legacy.

From the other images on this site I would say she's a great teacher as well as a great photographer: There are some great images, black and white and color, including capture of some striking coincidences.

Very fine painter, Joe. Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 12/30/2010 2:08:22 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, pentax...@mac.com writes: An interesting side note is that the work of an artist with whom I had crossed paths and verbal swords, and who was the brother of the lover of my first wife's sister (got that?) had a great deal of his life's work 'discovered' in a storage locker in New Orleans as the floodwaters rose. He and everyone else mentioned so far is dead, except my first wife. And me. Over 1400 works consisting of paintings of all sizes, drawings, books of sketches, and some photographs were recovered and safely stored away for a few years until another relative (nephew) of the family stepped in and has organized the work, found provenance of much of it with help from family members, New Orleans musicians, drunks, other artists, including me. There are even a couple of portraits of me from 1969, alone and with my wife, her parents, and the 'crowd' we hung with in San Francisco 1969. His name is Noel Rockmore. His bio and art can be found at http://www.rockmore.org/ I have some Ektachrome 120 transparencies of his work that I am trying to find to add to the works. The portraits that I am in or are of me are being held back until I find the images I have of Noel and his work that we will trade. I can't afford the smallest one, as they want $1200 for it. At the request of the woman who lays claim to the work (she held the key to the storage facility) the work is being sold at auctions, to museums, and on eBay from time to time.

Her work really touched me and I contacted John Maloof (the guy who found her negatives) to arrange an interview during my visit to Chicago for the PDML exhibit. Sadly (for me) Mr Maloof declined my invitation on the grounds that he was preparing a book and couldn't say anything more than what was on his blog: http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com I never finished that post.

This one brought back a long lost childhood memory: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YUrw6ooCZj4/SvS5uw-Jd3I/A4o/_YTbF1XMse0/s1600-h/28.jpg One thing that I think we unconsciously take away from these images is something you don't see nearly as much today: the perspective of a waist level camera. Since the SLR, I would wager that the majority of images are taken from standing eye level... probably between 5' 6' for most people. Waist level would put it mostly between 3' 4' (and lower) I would guess. I think there is something to that perspective that gives us an upspoken feeling of yesteryear (in addition to the obviously yesteryear subject matter and black white). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Vivian Maier, a street photographer discovered
Thanks for posting, Paul. I had heard a little bit about this a while back. Here's the link to a 9 minute piece on Maier on Chicago Tonight, which ran on WTTW, channel 11 here in Chicago. I just watched it; it's fascinating. The 1st American exhibition of her work will open in early January here in Chicago at the Cultural Center. I'll attend and provide a report back for PDML. Given the size of Maier's archive its subject matter, the Department of Cultural Affairs in Chicago really should help with this project in a major way, and it seems to be doing what it can, but every art department in the city is strapped for money. It will be interesting to see what the city continues to do for this lovely and important work. http://www.wttw.com/main.tafp=42,8,80pid=A1hO97qcWo7ViDL_rWniVH2LakYxNa7J Thanks again, Paul.

This woman had an eye for composition, a quick shutter finger as well to catch all the many faces with (mostly) great character in a fleeting glimpse. This is big. I certainly hope in the end her work will make it's way to the LOC, to be properly preserved in relative perpetuity. An interesting side note is that the work of an artist with whom I had crossed paths and verbal swords, and who was the brother of the lover of my first wife's sister (got that?) had a great deal of his life's work 'discovered' in a storage locker in New Orleans as the floodwaters rose. He and everyone else mentioned so far is dead, except my first wife. And me. Over 1400 works consisting of paintings of all sizes, drawings, books of sketches, and some photographs were recovered and safely stored away for a few years until another relative (nephew) of the family stepped in and has organized the work, found provenance of much of it with help from family members, New Orleans musicians, drunks, other artists, including me. There are even a couple of portraits of me from 1969, alone and with my wife, her parents, and the 'crowd' we hung with in San Francisco 1969. His name is Noel Rockmore. His bio and art can be found at http://www.rockmore.org/ I have some Ektachrome 120 transparencies of his work that I am trying to find to add to the works. The portraits that I am in or are of me are being held back until I find the images I have of Noel and his work that we will trade. I can't afford the smallest one, as they want $1200 for it. At the request of the woman who lays claim to the work (she held the key to the storage facility) the work is being sold at auctions, to museums, and on eBay from time to time.

This Chicago street photographer's work was discovered in a storage locker after she died. Looks like she shot with a Rollei TLR in the 1950s. Baksed on what is shown here, her work appears to be outstanding. http://www.vivianmaier.blogspot.com/ I'll go back and look at those when I have more time, but at first glance they appear to be well within the boundaries of awesome.

RE: Vivian Maier, a street photographer discovered
Fantastic stuff. Shame it wasn't around when many of us met in Chicago back in May. But then we had William Eggleston and Matisse. And, of course the PDML exhibition itself...
