Such wonderful photographs - I remember someone pointing her work out on
list a couple of months ago... or more...
I'm glad it came up again to revisit them .
But reading this article, I'll have to confess I was disturbed by the
comments of the "unlikely Champion" -
on a couple of levels...
quoting :
--Eventually, on Oct. 9, 2009, Mr. Maloof did what so many do these
days: put the question to the blogosphere, through Hardcore Street
Photography

"I guess my question is, what do I do with this stuff? Check out the
blog. Is this type of work worthy of exhibitions, a book? Or do
bodies of work like this come up often? Any direction would be
great."---
.................. later in the article....................
At the moment, he is riding the crest of a wave far larger than
anything he imagined 15 months ago: the exhibition, a book and a
documentary film, Finding Vivian Maier
<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/800508197/finding-vivian-maier-a-feature-length-documentary>,
hes producing with Mr. Rydzon.
No, Mr. Maloof doesnt believe it. Watching a segment recently on
WTTW
<http://www.wttw.com/main.taf?p=42,8,80&pid=A1hO97qcWo7ViDL_rWniVH2LakYxNa7J>
about the discovery of Ms. Maiers work, he found himself in tears.
He recalled thinking: Wow! This is about something that I did."
