vivian maier




Speaking of found negatives, Ephemeral New York has a great post on Vivian Maier, whose street photography was discovered by someone who bought the contents of a storage locker at auction. There are two great vintage New York portfolios on the Maier website, including a couple of surviving East Village corners.

I bet these same buildings only have 20 years or less left before they get knocked down. So good to capture them now. Everything will be shiny and plastic soon enough.

The shiny plastic "Subway" and "Sixteen Handles" are depressing enough.
