    5. The Graduate

      hey guys! I'm so glad you posted this LTD. A friend sent me the link two weeks ago. please check out this blog - http://www.vivianmaier.blogspot.com/ it's the guy who actually found and bought all her negatives.

      She never disappeared. She was a nanny and a single, independent woman (which for her day was something quite new). She travelled the world, almost always by herself and took photos in her native Chicago.
      She sounds awesome. Basically, this guy went to an auction - found thousands of negatives, bought them not really knowing what they were of... and then discovered this amazing photography. A year after he had first come into possession of her work he decided to look her up - and low and behold the day he did - he found an obituary of her in the paper - she had died just a week before he started his search, crazy hey?

      Anyway. check out the youtube too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWEDOnBfDUI
      this guy and a friend are now making a documentary about her life - they don't know why she never kept her photographs or what she did in the latter years of her life.

      After seeing her work, and trying to take some candid street pics myself I realised that it's really not that easy. You'd think it would be, but it's not. You kinda have to just take the picture and then you might not even get the shot you want 'cos the person notices you and the 'looking in' feel that was evident in the framing you had before is gone. *sigh still learning...

    1. lebogang nkoane

      I don't know 'bout the other — but, I think there is only two: all rights reserved and 'creative commons';

      but, I choose creative commons because I suspect regardless of what one 'slaps' on an image — I pre-assume it will be stolen; so I'd rather not chase down some 17 year old kid in a basement somewhere in eastern europe for using my 'graph as an inspiration for his rock-band.

      When I do apply: all rights reserved: I never publish the 'graph in any platform — only on print to be seen in person.

      that's my take.

    2. Jeff Rikhotso

      I am for Creative Commons, but lazy to to drop down and select it, cant say i know the legal meanings that well, but i know All Rights Reserved is pretty self explanatory, even though i know pple will use ur stuff anyway, especially for non commercial purposes.

    3. lebogang nkoane

      @jeff you set 'creative commons' to be your default 'copyright': http://75.co.za/jeff_rikhotso/edit
