Finding Vivian Maier

finding-vivian-maierA well-done documentary about a fascinating woman. Vivian Maier was a nanny for most of her life, with a mysterious past, a bizarre personality, and a knack for taking extraordinary photos of everyday life. This would have been an interesting documentary even without one photo, but the photos aren’t just a cute side-note. They’re really good – and there are tons of them. I really don’t care what kind of mini-industry the person who found these photos has made for himself. If it wasn’t for his careful eye, all of the photos would have been lost to history. In my opinion, he deserves whatever he gets (monetarily) from them.
