Vivian Maier, Self-Portrait (Shadow on Wood) ca. 1960s, Steven Kasher Gallery with thanks to Woods Lot.
What makes Maier unique is that her pictures were made for no one, not even herself. They weren’t printed at all. They are pure witness. She records but never plays back. Her pictures have no intention but to represent what her curiosity and her feelings demand. That demand must have been pressing indeed, to generate so much meticulous work.
Could blog and reblog her all day, every day….
