Vivian Maier

So last month I forgot how I got to this site but I stumbled upon it and Vivian Maier is now one of my favourite photographers. John Maloof, the blogger that has many of Maier's negatives, found/bought them at an auction (i should get myself to one. haha although i probably wouldn't be able to purchase anything. i need to find more garage/yard sales in boston/cambridge this semester once the weather's nice.) and started to blog/post Ms. Maier's photos. (you can read more about it on his site)

I find that street photography is so intriguing. in fact, if i could actually make a living out of it/didn't have some antagonizing (but also justifiably so) ppl asking me why i'm taking photos of them etc. i would want to do street photography. anywho, her composition is awesome and timing is great and almost all if not all of her photos i've seen so far have impressed me a lot.

These are a couple I really liked:







(in case you can't see, it says on the bottom, "BUY THEM HERE!". this may be my favourite haha)


this one reminds me of the twin girls from 'the shining' except less creepy.
