After learning about Vivian Maier in class I could not stop thinking about her! I really wanted to look more into her. How did she keep that big of a secret? She produced really good photos too. I wonder what inspired her to take these photos. What awes me the most is that she didn't tell the people to to sit in a certain way ( that we know) they are real life photos. They are simply amazing.! I cannot wait to see the documentary.
Just look at this picture. There is so many elements to this pictures it explains itself.

I also have been very interested in Vivian and love the point and shoot aspect, or at least in the sense of just observing what is going on around you and being able to capture some amazing moments without anyone knowing. I have started to shoot events and outings in my day-to-day routine to see how I can improve my "eye" and develop as a photographer. I am interested to see how Maier influences your work!
