Remember the story of a box of undeveloped film , which is bought at an auction in Chicago, and then it turned out that footage shows the street life of New York in 1950 -60 's?
This is the story Vivian Maier (Vivian Maier), and it has already been discussed on the forum


Photos of the mysterious boxes were very interesting , the photographer was definitely a talent.

Lumiere brothers , yesterday the opening of the exhibition.

The exhibition features 50 black and white photographs, which were made mainly in the 50s and 60s. These are the canonical images of architecture and street life of Chicago and New York. It was initially 50s Vivien decides to take up photography seriously and changes its Kodak Brownie for the expensive Rolleiflex and begins to shoot at medium format . She rarely did more than one frame of each scene and , basically, it took the children , women , the elderly and the poor . In her photographs , and there are striking self-portraits taken during her travels to Egypt , Bangkok , Italy, and the American West , and dozens of other cities around the world.

Obviously lonely , driven by their personal motivations , Vivian Maier was born photographer , and his extraordinary photographs managed to capture the very essence of America.

All the same, it remains unclear why she did not show the film , do not you wondered what happened ?
The press release states that it is often made ​​only one frame at a scene you like . You need to have a natural talent to the first frame to the desired picture .
History of Vivian Maier is really beautiful : box , auction , undeveloped film , the success of John Maloof (John Maloof), which bought the box for $ 400 , and the unexpected discovery of a new photographer.

What if there is not all true? As a suggestion , maybe it's different pictures of the photographers who shot New York 50 's and 60's , and now we see the photos under the name of Vivian Maier . Little is known about her , relatives, heirs do not. Riddle .

While it may be , and all true))
