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.

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. |
