Vivian Maier

Last night I watched a documentary on the secret photographer Vivian Maier. Who a few years, just before her death had her entire photography collection found. Her photos were 'street photography' before it was called street photography, the photos were of anything she found interest in, in the city of Chicago. Happy families, kids, old people, arguments, light and shadow, buildings and absolutely anything.

It is now on bbc iplayer for a short period of time here is the url

This is one of her self portraits that she did they would be on shop windows
or mirrors in the city, anything that would faintly reflect herself.

Joanne Wong - Manchester School of Art Trip




Joanne Wong was one of the students of Manchester School of Art whose work was on display. I really like it because it sort of has a comic book style to it because the drawings have a black out line to them.
