One of the photo groups I belong to on Facebook recently posted about an exhibit coming to the Des Moines Art Museum this fall called Finding Vivian Maier and a documentary of the same name on Netflix. After watching it – and being blown away! – I’m looking forward to the exhibit and have become motivated to explore street photography. Here are some B&W takes on just that in honor of my new photo inspiration. If you haven’t seen this film, do your Inner Muse a favor and check it out!

The documentary is incredible. Both Vivian and the man who found her photos and did the whole project just blow my mind. Good for Des Moines to showcase this!
I love Vivian Maier’s street photography, and I can see how the inspiration in these photos! Love it!
Thank you!!! I love her work too. Thanks so much for stopping by. I’ll return the favor. 🙂
