Yesterday, on NPR radio, I was listening to a story (while rebuilding my race car engine) about the semi-mysterious street photographer named Vivian Maier.
She achieved a modest amount of fame after her death by a fellow who discovered a box of her old negatives and began to publish them.
The NPR show was much longer than ~This Abbreviated Transcript~ but you get the idea about her.
They have created a website of her photos ~HERE~.
Many of the various portfolios are just stunning. It's hard not to be drawn to the purity of the her earlier black-and-white shots.
And there is now a movie called, "~FINDING VIVIAN MAIER~".
By the by, she did a lot of her work with a Rolleiflex "look down" camera.
Later, she also used a Leica.
The presenters on the NPR show mused that the Rolleiflex might have made it easier for an extremely shy person like Maier to get 'up close" to people, since she was looking down when shooting photos.
