Hilmar said Great book full of everyday pictures from a long time ago. I was interested in this book when I read the announcement and for the price I couldn't leave it.

All pictures have the same size and similar toning, which gives a great consistency throughout the book. The pictures themselves show everyday scenes from a long time ago, from all parts of society. You'll find old people, young kids, homeless people, rich folk, men and women and. john anderson said I want in hardback. This book is missing soul in kindle. Vivian Maier's work is outstanding.

Presented here for the first time in print, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the best of her incredible, unseen body of work.. 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, movin
