There were two other books about this woman and her photography in which I had more interest but this was the only book for borrowing that my library offers. I was a young girl during the time she took her photographs in Chicago and NYC and at times we were both in both places. I was too young to remember my time in Chicago and but I remember NYC well. Even though it was highly unlikely to find photos of people I would recognize included in this book, I unsuccessfully looked for them. I wish that there was more to this book. Maier was a talented photographer and many of the images she captured were striking, important, artistic. I wanted to see more of them. I am glad that her work was found and its importance was recognized. I did find many of the photographs in this book depressing and distressing. I thought that all the photos would be candid but many of them seemed posed. I’m glad that I read this and I’d like to read more about Maier and see all of her work, but I did not enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I think seeing these images hanging in a museum vs. seeing them on book pages would be more gratifying for me. Amazing. The 100 or so photos in this collection are but a tiny fraction of the 100,000 negatives discovered so far. Was she consistently this good, or are these the one-tenth of one percent best? I don't think it matters; to have taken even 100 good photos in a lifetime is an achievement. Another GR reviewer called her the Emily Dickinson of photography, I think that is apt; as far as is known, she never showed her work to others. Her work has all the ingredients of great street photography: an eye for composition, a sense of the moment, and a recognition of some of the absurd juxtapositions that street life offers but that many of us fail to notice. I could have done with fewer of the clichéd alcoholics in a doorway, but that's a minor quibble. Very glad to have become aware of her work. (Dal libro Vivian Maier.

"A good street photographer must be possessed of many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers. Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide--from France to New York City to Chicago and dozens of other countries--and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America's post-war golden age. It wasn't until local historian John Maloof purchased a box of Maier's negatives from a Chicago auction house and began collecting and championing her marvelous work just a few years ago that any of it saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print, 'Vivian Maier: Street Photographer' collects the best of her incredible, unseen body of work."--Publisher description.

Sin embargo, Vivian Maier es todas estas cosas, una niñera profesional, que desde la década de 1950 hasta la década de 1990 tomó más de 100.000 fotografías en todo el mundo, desde Francia hasta la ciudad de Nueva York, Chicago y docenas de otros países, y sin embargo no mostró los resultados a nadie. Las fotos son asombrosas tanto por la amplitud del trabajo como por la alta calidad de las imágenes humorísticas, conmovedoras, bellas y crudas de todas las facetas de la vida urbana en la época dorada de la posguerra en Estados Unidos.
No fue hasta que el historiador local John Maloof compró una caja de negativos de Maier en una casa de subastas de Chicago y comenzó a coleccionar y defender su maravilloso trabajo hace solo unos años que alguno de ellos vio la luz. Presentado aquí por primera vez en forma impresa, Vivian Maier: Fotógrafa callejera recopila lo mejor de su increíble e invisible cuerpo de trabajo.
