Commentary On The Film 'Finding Vivian Maier'

She uses unique words and phrases, metaphors and descriptions, and witty but informative tone. She opens the readers’ minds up to what the world we are living in is becoming. It is everyone for themselves, therefore every individual should become educated on every subject that they can handle. There is no possible way someone should overeducate themselves; it is just an impossibility. Imagine what life would be like if eventually everyone only knew about what their degree was in. There would not be many conversations, no improvement in the quality of life, a shorter survival rate, etc. The worst feeling in the world is feeling useless or worthless which could happen if you do not expand your knowledge. Go out in the world and learn what can be learned by observing, reading, studying, listening, asking, tasting, touching, smelling, or anything that helps you learn. The world needs more intelligence in every area. It is time that we take a stand and educate ourselves and others as much as we possibly

What drew to me her work was how she was able to capture the struggles of communities, ethics, and class system too. That and the fact during her Young Americans project she invited several teens

Marier worked for about forty years as a nanny, pursuing photography during her spare time.

The documentary What Remains follows photographer Sally Mann’s life over a span of five years as she balances being a mother, wife and photographer. In the film viewers are able to get an intimate glimpse of Mann’s creative process as she captures various images of her loved ones, landscapes, and even a new series that explores death. In this paper I will discuss Mann’s work detailing the criticism it receives as well as how my experience as a novice photographer parallels hers.

Vivian Maier ( February 1, 1926-April 21,2009 ) was a street photographer born in New York City. Vivian spent most of her youth in France but returned to the U.S. where she worked as a nanny and caregiver for the rest of her life. Sometime in 1949, Vivian began playing with her first photos. Vivian used a Kodak Brownie box camera, an amateur camera with only one shutter speed, no focus control, and no aperture dial. The viewer screen is tiny, and for the controlled landscape or portrait artist, this would impose a wedge between Vivian and her intentions due to the cameras in inaccuracy. In 1952, Vivian purchases a Rolleiflex camera. For most of her stay in New York, she spends with this family until 1956, when she makes her final move to the

Even with her boat pictures, they look like they are moving around in the water but they are actually standing still. She even captured the clouds almost trying to disappear into thin air. The next photo I like is a picture of a small wooden ladder that’s in the water lying next to old rusty boat. It makes me think about when I use to go fishing with my father and grandfather. My grandfather boat was rusty like the one in her picture. I like her artwork because it reminds me of my hometown. I can actually picture the boats in a line waiting to be released from the dock to get in the water. Her pictures are a really good example of country life. Her artwork title should’ve been name a day in the life of a country girl. It shows how beautiful the country life really is. I actually think her pictures are the best I’ve viewed so far. I really can’t explain how much I like her layout. All of her picture complement each other including the same color scale and how the pictures are reflection off little and big puddles of water. The puddles are a significant piece off her artwork because it shows the detailed image off the objects she was trying to capture and that’s why I chose to write about her

She was able to create perplexing pieces of work; by adding color shadow and lighting. Her flower paintings had lots of details; some thought that they were erotic.

"To read our customers testimonials after they have received their paintings for the first time is one of the most powerful reasons why I love our business. To hear how much we have touched someone’s heart & emotion through Art is truly beautiful.” - Rachel

Margaret Bourke-White, world-renowned photographer, was a true icon to the world because of her unusual early life and education, her striking industrial photography career, powerful human-interest photography, and her heroic battle with a crippling disease in her final years. Margaret Bourke-White’s younger years took a unique and interesting route. On June 14, 1904 (Browne 38), Joseph and Minnie White (Goldberg 9) brought Margaret Bourke White (Welch 27) into the world in the Bronx, New York (Oden 2). Margaret's was meant to be birthed on June 13, but after discovering that Joseph and Minnie’s anniversary was the next day, the doctor prolonged Minnie’s labor (Goldberg 7). Margaret had two siblings (Oden 2), Ruth and Roger (Welch 8). At a

very unique style of interpretation and disposition. She also has a way of drawing the audience

In the 1930’s, Dorothea Lange was a well-known photographer for the Farm Security Administration and had recently been assigned to photograph rural areas where federal programs had been implemented. On her way home from an assignment in March 1936, Lange decided to make a stop at a pea-picking camp in Nipomo Mesa, California and was immediately drawn to a woman and her children. That woman was a 32-year-old migrant crop picker named Florence Owens Thompson who recently had come to the camp with her seven children, hoping to find work. Lange, intrigued by the woman’s worn looks and curious about her life, asked Thompson if she could photograph her and her family. According to Lange, she took six pictures of Thompson and her children, and asked Thompson no questions other than her age. One of the photographs taken that day was ‘Migrant Mother,’ which quickly rose to popularity after Lange sent it to the San Francisco News to be

She always knows how to capture the reader’s attention with her plotlines, storylines, sentence structures, and interaction, especially with her creative writing as well as her narratives. She mainly does script writing for her creative stories which are honestly interesting because it's usually used for movies and TV. Therefore, this style becomes interactive for the readers. They can visualize themselves in the story and become one with the characters. I also write in that style, so we’ve collaborated on a couple of stories; I even contributed some suggestions for developing characters for her upcoming work. In the end, she composes the story so you would be left wanting to know what happens in the next or wait for a sequel to be made.

She inspired me mainly because when she went in to the industry she was considered “different”. Her personality and her physical appearance were different then other girls at the time. She was considered “quirky” or “super skinny” but she didn’t let those works destroy her and now she is well known for those two things. She’s very important to me because I feel as if I don’t look like the other girls at my school and she taught me that I should embrace it and flaunt my “quirkiness”.

Her pieces are more than just paintings , because she uses photography skills to capture her
