Vivian Maier Shooting in Obscurity - negs discovered

Great story and amazing pictures - thanks for the links. Check out the box of (the remaining) undeveloped rolls on the Flickr page!
 
As said, too bad she wasn't recognized before her death. What a wonderful body of work - she was very talented, and must have been very inspired.
 
She really had a good eye - some of her photos are captivating. I'm glad you posted the link - this is one story I'll be following.
 
I think that's a problem with a lot of photographers, the accumulation of undeveoped film. Maybe it's a result of age? In addition to the 40 or so rolls sitting undeveloped around here there are probably twice that many hanging in thedarkroom or tucked in sleeves awaiting their trip under the contact print glass. Still, there are 3 or 4 cameras lying about with half exposed rolls in them...
 
...She wasn't afraid of her subjects, nor were they afraid of her. For the most part they were well aware that she was there.

Think about it next time you agonize over which camera(s) to take, which lenses, how are you ever going to get up the nerve to photograph strangers, OMG! what if they see you?..

From personal experience there's a real difference in attitude towards ladies. As a guy I wouldn't.
 
Interesting selfportrait

pity though you did sell part of the negs on Ebay. I think it would have been of more value to keep the negs complete.

Beautiful blog btw!
