Vivian Maier

A woman is born in NYC, grows up in France, returns to the States and works as a nanny for about 40 years. While she is working as a nanny, she also take photographs. Thousands and thousands of photographs. And never shows them to anyone.

Finding Vivian Maier

Her photos are incredible. And I love how private she was. Especially in our celebrity culture now, to have someone who was so passionate about her work, so talented and persistent, and yet avoided the public eye...it's very moving to me.

To make art for the act of making it alone - I have a lot of respect for that.

I can't wait to see the documentary.

Article on Maier.

Coffee table book of her photographs.

Cool!

THIS piece of art is super cool and very NYC looking.

I would like it.

So is THIS one. It tells a story.

Oooh! And Coney Island brings back Summer memories.

I love shopping for art. I have a lot of it but one can never have too many pieces of art, I guess. At least that's my working theory.
