Nice set. I've been to the HD museum and I could spend hours and hours there. What's amazing is how extensive HD's collection is, even if it is their own stuff. Supposedly they were just pack rats and kept one of everything as a matter of course. On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 10:54 AM, Paul Sorenson

Ann, You and I were both in Chicago when Vivian Maier was taking photos. We both have first hand memories of those times. I enjoyed the video as it gave some dimension to her life. Was it pretentious twaddle? No more than the photos themselves are. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 7:13 A
