Vision of Vivian Maier

For Vivian, there was peace. For her photos; much to say. It's not that Vivian didn't try. Vivian didn't play. To sell her photos; only dreams. Vivian's wait pursue. And in her death soon came through. Her photos up for auction, one could not surmise the value of a woman: especially one that wise. Discovered in an auction. A treasure of a find. Promoted for her talent by one who had the mind. First come to a gallery. Her photos on the wall. A radiance of talent, and finally seen by all. The frames of bistro's boasting. Small cafe's in light. Charming faces blooming; character's delight. A passion that grew stronger. This gifted talent dire. A fate long in the waiting. The vision: Vivian Maier.

i've seen an exhibit of her work, trevor, and i think she had an amazing eye. it was a privilege to have the opportunity to see her pictures. i wonder what she would have thought of having her work displayed, though, especially since she hadn't developed them during her lifetime.

I think she would be insulted. She kept separate from others so long that it would be hard to accept interference. Sad, but it's what made her great. LOL
