May 29 - Special Guest Speaker - Parker Geissler, image consultant for the Jeffrey Goldstein Collection - the photographs of Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier was a remarkable amateur street photographer, who made her living working as a nanny in Chicago. She took over 100,000 photos, but showed them to no one. After her death, her images were only discovered when a local historian purchased a box of her negatives from a Chicago auction house. Several of her images were published in “Vivian Maier: Street Photographer” in 2011 by Chicago art collector Jeffrey Goldstein. www.vivianmaierphotography.com
Parker Geissler will speak about Vivan Maier as a person and as a photographer, and his role in helping to make her photography known to a wider audience. Some topics which may be covered during a discussion of her work are lighting effects and captured effects, images within images, influences on social commentary and Americana, and silver gelatin printing and the emergence of digital photography.
Visitors are welcome.
