Take a moment to check out this blog from Aline Smithson. There's a great story about how negatives were almost lost to the dust heap, neglected and re-discovered. They were finally attributed to a street photographer from Chicago. See more on the photographer's work at John Maloof's blog. From Eugene Atget to Joel Meyerowitz and maybe even a little Lee Friedlander,
this traditional form of photography continually informs. It is one of the
most direct uses of the medium; to simply document what is. There is a
point of view. But, when done well, there is the photographer. It's where I
started with photography. When I see work like that of Vivian Maier, I feel the urge to walk out my studio door.
