Vivian Maier & photobooth #4
Friday night Vincent and I headed to brooklyn to see a slideshow presentation about the life and work of street photographer Vivian Maier.
It was a great presentation and it was awesome to see old photos of my hometown, Chicago (as well as some of New York). Vivian Maier seemed like a fascinating person who was extremely dedicated to her craft. I really enjoy her work and look forward to seeing more of it and learning more about her life as her story unfolds. Although she was a private person and not many people knew a lot about her, her sense of humor and curiosity is expressed through her beautiful photographs. I learned that Vivian Maier was a solo world traveler, a quiet observer, and a collector of things, and I'd be lying if i said that I didn't see a little bit of myself in her.
Thank you, John Maloof for taking the time to scan & catalog thousands of negatives and to uncover information about this amazing artist.

After the presentation we headed down the block to visit Bubbys Brooklyn, pick up some chocolate peanut butter pie, and check photobooth #4 off of our list.
only 17 more to go!
