Saul Leiter.
An extraordinary affinity for the medium.

It isn’t always just the photos you take that matters. It is looking at the world and seeing things that you never photograph that could be photographs if you had the energy to keep taking pictures every second of your life.

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

A man paid 380 dollars for a box of negatives at a Chicago auction in 2007. It contained the work of one of the great photographers of the twentieth century, and she was still alive, in a nursing home, eleven miles away.

Vivian Maier worked as a nanny for 40 years. On her days off she walked Chicago and New York with a camera around her neck and photographed everything, and over her life she took more than 150,000 pictures.

She never showed them to anyone. Most were never even developed.

John Maloof, who bought the box, was writing a book about Chicago architecture and wanted old street shots. What he found was not usable for his book and was obviously extraordinary, so he searched her name online and got nothing at all. He put the box in a closet.

He searched again in 2009 and found her obituary in the Chicago Tribune, a few weeks old. He had missed her by weeks.

Her storage lockers had been sold because she could not keep up the rent. She had ended up poor, and three of the children she had raised as a nanny pooled their money to pay for an apartment for her. They did not know about the negatives. Nobody did.

She died at 83, alone in a nursing home, with no idea any of it would ever be seen by anybody. The photographs went online and went round the world within weeks. There are books now, and a film that was nominated for an Oscar. Her work sits beside the recognised masters of street photography.

She could have had all of it. She was two years away.

Every woman who has made something and put it in a drawer, who has kept a notebook nobody has read, who has done the best work of her life on her days off between other people's children, is in that storage locker.

@FlakPhoto Soooooo, so good

[Badger @Bertrom]

Vivian Maier.

Again.
I have to refrain unless I bore you again with my passion and disbelief at her extraordinary vision.

[Badger @Bertrom]

In the winter of 2007, John Maloof, a 26-year-old Chicago realtor, stumbled upon a box of negatives at an auction house.

They belonged to Vivian Maier.
The rest is history.
