Vivian did not care what people thought about her work. She probabably did not care whether people noticed the Rollei. We do not have to question her "artistic sensibility. Why would we want to do that? What would be amazing to get an insight on would be: How she approached her subjects, focus a Rollei, and calculate exposure so effortlessly. The photographs speak for themselves. The tonal range in her photographs is astounding( as it was for Bresson, Lartigue, Lisette Model, Elliot Erwitt, etc). I'm just so happy to see her work. thanks for your video.

I don‘t understand this kind of discussion about Vivian Maier. For me there is no doubt that she was an outstanding photographer. This „curated argument“ is just nonsense for me. A lot of great photographers had help with their work. In her 8mm films you get a good hint about what photographic eye this woman had. The biggest question for me is about her late work. I‘m not a big fan of her color works, the stuff which was released lately. We don’t really know what to expect from her work after the 1970s and the thousands of undeveloped rolls of color film. It’s seems that she photographed more and more “nonsense” (newspaper) and her daily life as a nanny when she got older. Maybe that’s no surprise. A lot of photographers do their best work in young ages. We don’t really know what happened to the artist Vivian Maier in the beginning of the 70s. Her early work of the 50s and 60s is definitely not overrated.

Absolutely agree, especially with the curation part, at the end of the day it was all shot by her, whether or not it would be to her liking is a pointless argument, she is now gone. Her perspective is beautiful, I don’t agree with people who say that photography needs to always be so profound, sometimes it’s just good and beautiful, the fact that we gained a new perspective from that period from someone who captured very well is something that should be appreciated! Her images are beautiful and what photographer has 100% “flawless” images? None.

Widelux versus XPan video pls

No she’s not over rated. She’s under rated.

No, she is not overrated.

Congratulations on the 50th! Thanks for all the great shows. I really enjoy them.

Wiith the curation part, at the end of the day it was all shot by her, whether or not it would be to her liking is a pointless argument, she is now gone.

Woohoo! I've been waiting and waiting! So glad to see you live-ish!

Is she? no, not a chance. Not well known enough is more like it.

I love this podcast - audio / video - whatever the format it's so enjoyable.

Great episode! Would love to see more Like this!

Loved the video guys and nice to put a face to your voices. I have really enjoyed your podcasts and I also have a love and passion for wonderful film cameras, of which I have a few, but nothing like your collections! Not that i'm jealous 😀 Keep up the excellent work and as a Welshman, Jeff, I was very glad you enjoyed your trip to Wales. Best wishes to you both from Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales 👍

Sadness lolled lazily around Lilith’s heart, like so much sewage floating on the Seine. She said, “Today my heart is heavy, for Brungar the miller’s son has an open sore.”

It’s bizarre watching their mouths move and hearing their voices come out!

I enjoyed watching this guys😊keep it up

I just watched you guys for the first time, and I enjoyed your banter reminiscing about acquiring cameras in the 70’s. I was 16 in 1973 and my part-time job in high school was in a shop located in Milwaukee selling record albums with a sound booth, greeting cards and a photo counter where I sold those same cameras featured on this episode. All the best!

Very enjoyable video. You two are totally entertaining and I love listening to your podcasts.

Just seems like some of these photographers thought they were great till Vivian Maier images came out, so they will pick at her work now.

This was fun guys!

As far as camera collecting goes; get what you want to shoot. Do not feel guilty for loving it.

Love the video format guys! Keep them coming and happy 50th 🎉🎉🎉

thank you O Podfather!

Just watched this episode a second time after hearing the funny things you have to say about the YT comments. I think it is hilarious that people comment about the episode title and what is probably sixty seconds of the episode. I think Vivian Meier made some lovely photographs. But I don’t really care whether she is considered a world class artist or not. One thing I just noticed is that Gabe has an Exacta here. You have mentioned in a few episodes that neither of you have ever used Exactas. Have you tried it out yet since bringing it back from Albuquerque? What do you think of it? I hope you are also still enjoying the Graflex and getting more comfortable with sheet film. Jeff, you used here and in few other episodes, the phrase “Have I over-egged the pudding?”, a phrase I had never heard before. Is that a common phrase in the screenwriting business or from your childhood?

I thought your only purpose was to talk about film cameras! So will you be doing videos now to compliment your podcast? 😊

I love the Canon EF. What a great camera.

Hi guys, Michael here, 2 of my last emails from the mailbag were skipped so I decided to write here in an attempt to try and figure out whether they were marked as spam or something or didn't make the cut for some reason. I know it's an unorthodox way to contact you, so I feel obliged to add that I don't know if Vivian Maier is overrated and I'm not sure why you're asking me, but I'm pretty sure that after foretold exhibition you guys are attending you'll be closer to the Truth. Cheers guys

I foolish thought this episode about Vivian Maier.

They do exist!

Before watching this video I say: No, she's definitely doesn't.

Do you really want to be like the guitar experts who think Jimi Hendrix couldn’t play?

Let’s gooo

Y'all should ask Maloof to curate your work and see how far it gets you.

19:00 - I had to look it up and it means: Without which, not Sine qua non can be translated literally as "Without which, not." Though this may sound like gibberish, it means more or less "Without (something), (something else) won't be possible." Sine qua non sounds slightly literary, and it shouldn't be used just anywhere.

I'd quit while you're ahead

Gotta say , convenient money making opportunity for the finder and how is she benefiting ? Art world hype is involved , dead artist gold ……

And ... who are you two guys again? I guess a couple of sitcom producers are more qualified to question the validity of Vivian Maier's work than the curators of the Leica Gallery and Galleria Cons Arc in Switzerland. Quit pretending you know what you're talking about and stick to producing mindless television for the unwashed masses.
