I remember reading about Maloof's discovery of Maier's works
when it happened, then heard nothing more. I was delighted to see this
documentary made about his discover, and his search to find who this woman was.
Yes, it seemed to become almost an obsession for him, but I'm so glad it did.
Vivian Maier was a bit of an eccentric, to word it mildly, who didn't want to
work in a sweat shop, so she became a Nanny so she would have access to the
outdoors – parks, streets, people. Her young charges got quite the workout
keeping up with her. If they didn't, she more than once didn't seem to notice
and walked off without them. Her photography of street scenes, almost all in
black & white, are what Ansel Adams was to nature.
