Thoughts of Vivien Maier...

    I was looking through the pictures of Vivien Maier. I don't know what touches  me so much. Simplicity of her pictures? Personality? Modesty? Devotion to her hobby? It was not a very usual hobby for a woman of that time.  Or it was not just a "hobby", it was an escape from loneliness, from herself, - it's mystery, that sometimes will be solved (or tried to be solved). She will become famous, will be talked about. Is that what she really  wanted? Why didn't she develop her films? Did she plan to? How could she keep them and never see them? Was she happy with her pictures?  They say, she had a french accent. There are may be pictures taken in Paris...I think she was happy TAKING pictures, that's for sure. This part I understand. But I think I would be too curious and anxious to see the result and couldn't just let them sit in a box. Digital photography is invented for people like me, I guess. We see prints right away, even though they cannot be touched.... Omg, I just had a thought - how horrible it would be to lose ability to see....

It's a view from our window. There are 7 minutes between the shots.  What a change in colours! (No photoshop!) 

This one was taken the next day. Can anyone get tired of it if it is so different every day?
