Wow! Vivian Maiers work looks extraordinary.

This brings to mind a video I watched yesterday at Lynda.com on Richard Koci Hernandez. He is a bay area photographer who does a lot of multimedia work, including street photography. He has a lot of cool stuff. His portfolio links you to most of it http://www.richardkocihernandez.com/portfolio/ .... His homepage is kind of cool. You might stop by there before viewing his portfolio, http://www.richardkocihernandez.com/.

The 54 is an example of some of his street work using an iPhone. Maybe POV could do 54 POV members on the 54 bus taking 54 photos in 54 days ;)

Another connection, for me, is that Koci Hernandez started Mission Local. The organization is an online news service for the Mission District of San Francisco. That makes me think more about POV's connection or potential connection to VoV.

Happy winter!

Great discussion on Vivian Meier. A short vid on street / fashion photog Scott Schumman aka the Sartorialist to keep the juices flowing. A little more self aware and posed but beautiful work and interesting thoughts on being a photographer.

Just thought I'd share this-A great piece worth watching:
Vivian Maier?s street photography was recently ?discovered? just a few days after she died at the age of 83. The Chicago nanny took over 100,000 photographs and many say she may rank among the top street photographers of the 20th century.
