"When longtime nanny Vivian Maier died in 2009, she left behind thousands of photo negatives that she'd produced over the years. But the now-famous shutterbug's unique body of work lay in storage until an amateur historian uncovered the trove."
I finally got around to watching the documentary of Vivian Maier's life tonight. It's well worth the time to see, but sadly leaves you with more questions about this great street photographer than answers. Lots of great interviews with former employers and the kids she watched. I think we can look forward to seeing more of her work as it becomes available.
Haven't had an opportunity to check out the other Vivian Maier documentary or the ones dealing with Disfarmer, but hope to do so eventually. That leads me to wonder whether there are similar documentaries that might be interesting to see. One that comes to mind is Other People's Pictures, which is described on its Web site as: "Nine obsessive collectors share an unlikely addiction: snapshots that have been abandoned or lost by their original owners and are now for sale." I tracked this down via interlibrary loan a few years ago and enjoyed watching it.
Are there other photography-related documentaries that anyone else would recommend?
