John Maloof's documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, was nominated for a 2015 Academy Award! "Her work alternately brings to mind Lisette Model, Leon Levinstein, Harry Callahan, Garry Winogrand, Weegee, Helen Levitt and Robert Frank. But the uncracked nut at the core of her mystery is this: Why didn't Vivian Maier show anyone her pictures?" -Wall Street Journal "Saved from obscurity, the work of an unknown street photographer is, at last, coming out of the shadows." -Anthony Mason, CBS News "An unassuming Chicago baby sitter named Vivian Maier was one of the pioneers of street photography. But for 60 years, nobody knew it." - The New York Times Style Magazine "An undiscovered artist whose photography is now being compared to the giants, a reclusive woman who, in death, is attracting the kind of attention and acclaim she would have shunned in life." -The Huffington Post "Show-cased in the new book Vivian Maier: Street Photographer, out this month from powerHouse-rivet the viewer with the extreme vulnerability of her subjects." - Vanity Fair "[Maier] is a gifted visual thinking with a strong sense of self. Through [her] lens, self-shadows and window reflections are deftly composed more about context than the figure at the center" -American Photo "A combination of straight forward portraits, mirrored reflections and abstract self-portrayals, the collection...attempts to put a face to the name that's most recently captured the photography world's attention" -The Huffington Post, "Her work alternately brings to mind Lisette Model, Leon Levinstein, Harry Callahan, Garry Winogrand, Weegee, Helen Levitt and Robert Frank.

Synopsis
The original, instant classic which set the world afire. The first book to introduce the phenomenon that is the life story and work of Vivian Maier. A good street photographer must be possessed of many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers. Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide--from France to New York City to Chicago and dozens of other countries--and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America's post-war golden age. It wasn't until local historian John Maloof purchased a box of Maier's negatives from a Chicago auction house and began collecting and championing her marvelous work just a few years ago that any of it saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the best of her incredible, unseen body of work. Please note that all blank pages in the book were chosen as part of the design by the publisher., The original, instant classic which set the world afire.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (226)
- 4***9 (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping time was reasonable. I will say that the item was very well packaged with board to stop the book bending, something not every seller will do. My only gripe is there were two loose pages. Not a deal breaker as it is a reference book, and the references are there, I just think this should have been pointed out as part of the description so there is no disappointment for the buyer.
- b***a (613)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA++ transaction. Speakers are as described showing the signs of 40 year-old speakers and sound fantastic! Arrived well-packaged. Shipping, while not seller's fault, was slow taking 11 days for a trip that can be as little as 2-3 days. Not the first time lately that eBay shipments have been extraordinary slow considering point of origin and destination.

- 4***w (0)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem description was incorrect Item did not include all the elements listed. When I contacted seller they asked if looked at the item photos. Answer: The seller only put one photo of the item up which did not show the elements included (complete product). The description did. This seller is dishonest. (Had they included more photos it would have been obvious that the item was not worth purchasing) I will never buy from them again and I would advise other buyers to avoid this seller
