Vivian Maier
I encourage all of you to watch Finding Vivian Maier, director John Maloof’s documentary about how he acquired a treasure trove of negatives by a previously unknown photographer in an auction and was so impressed by them that he spent the next several years trying to unravel the mystery of her life and bring her work to the attention of the public.
It’s an incredible story that reminds us that there is unrecognized talent all around us and that the lonely, unremarkable woman who passes you on the street may possess depths that you would never suspect.
