Vivian Maier

I’ve posted about Vivian Maier before, but I had forgotten about her in the interim, and I thought you might have too. So I’m bringing her up again, because she’s worth two posts.
To quote from the site linked above:
Born in New York 1926, Vivian Maier was an American-French photographer who worked as a nanny in Chicago from the mid-1950′s to the 1990′s. In 2007, two years prior to Maier’s death, 26-year-old real estate agent John Maloof purchased a box filled with 30,000 negatives from an estate sale for $400.
Vivian’s work was never known during her life, but she left behind a body of work of an incredibly high caliber.
The now-published book of her work is absolutely on my “must own” list.
Narnian photography, by Andrew Brooks

This BBC Philharmonic Commission photography by Andrew Brooks is beautiful, and is exactly what I’d want to see in a Narnia movie. (If you search “Narnia” on this blog, you’ll quickly discover I’m not a huge fan of Walden’s Narnia films.)
But these photos are The Stuff.

Love this stock photo. Don’t know why… the colors, the face, the cropping. It’s a fave. Wish I could make a book cover out of it.
Do you want to see something amazing?
