Nice article Christine! WTTW, the public TV station, ran a short video on the Vivian Maier photos. It was part of yesterday's Chicago Tonight broadcast and was wide ranging. They mentioned a previous clip they had broadcast as well. If I was better at locating the videos, I'd include links. :-(
Street Photography is not my favorite, but some of the shots in the exhibition showed outstanding composition or great character. I really need more time with them than an hour last Saturday. I have some concern about where this is all going. The guy who stumbled on her work in '97(?) now has 100,000 of her negatives plus some other memorabilia. It's a daunting task to wade thru them all. He's been chasing it for a while and is just getting some reaction. He seems to control all of her work and be a novice in photography. Without some slick, commercial promotions and without some commercial galleries making money off of these pictures, I could see the whole thing imploding on itself. Great pictures, but no visibility for them and no profits in promoting them. Regards, Bob S.
