    in the video he mentions how the photos could be worth a lot, but its seems somewhat wrong for him to make money from someone elses hard work.

    Compensation for his work and costs yeh, but surely if the photos made lots of money it should go to her family.

    Even better if they knew of a charity or interest of Vivian Maier's which the profits could be donated to.

    • set up a foundation - all money goes to that - family can oversee it and commitee can distribute moneys made to upcoming photogs / arts charities - noofadein11
    • photogs / arts charities. Noone should get rich from her work apart from her - will be disgraceful if that happensfadein11

    • It seems wrong, but museums and galleries make money off people's work. Why shouldn't he?freedom
    • museums buy or borrow work usually with the aim of making the work available to the public. And most museums are non-profit organisations. Are you referring to the commercial gallery system? Not the same.fadein11
