some really great photos! and that's an incredible story. unfortunate though about the timing of her death.

Yeh pizzafire, such a shame she won't see how great she was.
Be nice if they got to moma or the Tate, they seem good enough, I wish I could nail composition like she can!

"a few hundred B&W rolls to develop. Not to mention about 600 undeveloped color rolls."
good lord, it's like a time capsule
- it would be so much fun to develop that film. if I lived in Chicago I would offer my helpMr_Fantastic
- I know! would be an awesome little window to the past.Hombre_Lobo

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

Saw it in the theater. Very good documentary. Creepy woman though.

Phenomenal work, over 100,000 negatives...John Maloof will be a multi-millionaire sooner rather than later.

- This guy has some very good points, she never got to curate her own work.HijoDMaite
- Anyone can be a curator these days.freedom
- You need a degree to be a curator?freedom
- Stop saying "curator" dude.freedom
- He sounds pretty jealous. Downplaying the work, and i think it's because he wishes he had the opportunity and feels the people own the prints aren't worthy.summs
- ...and feels the people who own the prints aren't worthy. Perfect marketing i think. I hope they do well.summs

Really amazing work I liked the film.

I spent 3 hours last night viewing her work, amazing.

Amazing story and intriguing character, there's a brilliant BBC documentary aswell, the maker of the film didn't want to be involved so it's a great look at the other people who found the pictures and met her
- sea_sea0
in love. what a find, i want to look through ALL of them.
- organicgrid0
I just ordered the full documentary, I could not find the whole doc anywhere on the Interwebs.

bought the DVD from Amazon and watched it last night. Loved it. The lady was definitely whacky.
Did anyone get the feeling that the dark secret her family kept was that maybe their father was some sort of monster or war criminal?
- hm hadn't thought of that, but that's an interesting theory.colin_s
