VM also travelled with the families she worked for - including to Vancouver BC Canada!
And she photographed while on those trips.
We have been breathing American cinema for 100 years and we understand very well all American laws, customs and traditionsI think there may be a cultural difference in the definition of a nanny. This is not how domestic employment happens in the US.
I watch a lot of American movies. When I grow up I want to be a photographer just like Peter Parker.We have been breathing American cinema for 100 years and we understand very well all American laws, customs and traditions

I used to want to be a photographer just like Jimmy Olsen. Then I got a Speed Graphic and changed my mind.Instead of Jimmy Olsen?
It's all subjective of course, and everyone seems to have a different definition of 'street photography', but there have been a lot of great photographers associated with that genre, including Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, Elliott Erwitt, Helen Levitt, Louis Faurer, Leon Levinstein, and Tony Ray-Jones. And that's just scratching the surface. I would be hard-pressed to call any of these photographers a waste of time.
I'd take a great Robert Frank photo over a mediocre Atget any day.You do make your point. But I don't really choose to spend much time with those photos. A quick glance is usually all that's required.

Tough. Frank is more my aesthetic. So I would probably pass on the Atget.I think I'd take a great Frank photo over a mediocre anything...but would you take a great Atget over a mediocre Frank?
These are some really terrific portraits, and they are even more amazing when you consider that they were done on the street without the advantage of special lighting in a studio. She had to work hard to get as good as she was so I really hate to infer that hard work wasn't important, but I really do believe she also had a natural eye for good compositions.Two photographs from France (1959) - here, if not before, it becomes clear VM also had positive interactions with the people depicted; it was not always just the inconspicuous shot from the hip.
I can also clearly recognise Mrs. Maier in these faces.

This !I'm starting to think she was kinda cute.
I think we should all reveal our psychological makeup and mental problems so that we can appreciate one anothers' photography better.This thread, and the one that preceded it, sound a lot like episodes of that Dr. Phil show on TV, not that I have actually ever watched it. After I read some of the posts, I can almost hear the audience clapping wildly, and looking under their seats to see what they have won. Maybe we could get two or three of her biographers on and they could get in a big fight. That being said, I appreciate everyone sharing their professional opinions on her state of mind. I now have a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of Ms. Maier's psychological profile, which has lead to a much greater appreciation of her photography.
