It was
hard try to choose a picture but I did it. This photo was taken for Vivian Maier.
I will talk about her before make some comments about the picture because for
me it's important to know a little of her life.
First, she wasn't a professional photographer, she was
amateur. In fact she worked as a nanny for forty years in Chicago. In her free
time she went out and took photo of the things that called her attention in the
streets. She never shared her work with someone else, so nobody saw her work until
2007, when a historian and collector called John Maloof discovered it. Thanks to
him, who started to show their work, we can see her amazing photos.
The
photo I chose doesn’t have a title, but I know it was taken in New York on
1955. If I have to say what was exactly the place I would say that looks like
the Central Park.
The reasons
I like this photo are many. In first place I like the landscape. I don’t love
the cold weather, but the snow is beautiful. Also, the trees without their
leaves are something that I always like to look and in this picture we can
observe it perfectly. Another reason is the perspective of the photography. It makes that the man in the center (between the rows of trees)look so lonely. And this
is the most I love.
Before finish I share with you a Vivian Maier's self portrait and the website with her work : http://www.vivianmaier.com
When I read your post I imagined to Vivian like a feminine woman, but I confused her with a men in the picture.
