Secrets in the old warehouse
In 2007, John Maloof, a collector and amateur historian, spent $400 to buy back a box containing 30,000 negatives at an auction.
So impressed with the photos after being developed, John spent a lot of time searching for the name of the woman written on the storage box – Vivian Maier – hoping to have a chance to find a talented photographer.
At that time, on the Flickr page where John posted Vivian Maier’s photo, there were hundreds of comments expressing admiration.
So who is Vivian Maier?
All people know about Vivian Maier is that she came to America from France when she was a child.
A single father who hired her for a short time said she was nothing special and that because he was busy, he didn’t know her very well.
However, everyone agrees that Vivian is a very private person and takes a lot of photos.
Vivian’s photos depict the boom of consumerism in America.
Silent observer
When the female photographer’s name began to spread on websites, many critics were extremely surprised and wondered why Vivian had to live so poor, when she could have made a lot of money from her career.
A warm feeling of femininity emanates from the photos of children.
She has been compared to many famous street photographers, and is even considered one of the most prominent street photographers of the twentieth century.
Viewing photography as just a quiet hobby helps Vivian Maier stay calm, not trying too hard to record the world.
