For those of you who have Netflix...

Be sure and catch the documentary, "Finding Vivian Maier." It's filmed by the guy who found her photos. Good interviews of the few people who knew her, lots of her photos, and best of all, an excellent selection of her selfies. Good stuff.

There are some fabulous photos, and not all of them have been seen yet.

I'm glad this guy is getting her work seen. There was speculation as to whether she wanted her work seen. I don't think she would be displeased, but I think it's also obvious enough that she shot for her personal satisfaction and didn't care if anyone saw it, approved of it or didn't approve of it.
