Vivian Maier

I wanted to share a this beautifully romantic photo from street photographer Vivian Maier. She lived in Chicago in the 60s as nanny and photographed constantly. I’d love to do an engagement shoot on a train. How gorgeous would that be?!

Her street photography is brilliant, romantic and graphic. Her collection of negatives has been hidden away from the public for decades and was recently purchased by a man working on a book about Chicago. After he realized what he found he started scanning and posting the images online. I totally recommend watching this news report. It’s totally amazing.

 

Check out the blog to view the growing collection. Her work is on par or better thank the greats like Robert Frank or Gary Winogrand.
