Photos: Vivian Maier's Street Photography SUPERB! As with so many artist's, they are not truly appreciated, nor even discovered, until after they have passed on! Some seek not to be in the spotlight, and create their art for themselves, while others just to share, then there are those whom seek recognition whilst they are alive and still able to enjoy the fruits of their labors. In so many cases, such as Van Gogh; we lose the greatness of their personage before they are ever seen for their true worth. Then only in retrospect does the world come to realize the tremendous loss to humanity as a whole, that has occurred. A pity, and a shame that we will never know if Vivian Maier's works were for herself, or she actually aspired to find greatness in her lifetime, and not knowing the means by which to achieve such notice, gave up on an attempt to be known, or whether she was only in it, [her art]; for her own personal satisfaction?

French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre set out to document the decline of an American city. Their book “The Ruins of Detroit“, a document of decaying buildings frozen in time, was published in December 2010. From the photographers’ website: Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.

I had experienced the same feelings once before. That was while reading Emily Dickinson’s “Because I could not stop for Death.” We paused before a house that seemedA swelling of the ground;The roof was scarcely visible,The cornice but a mound.Since then ’tis centuries; but eachFeels shorter than the dayI first surmised the horses’ headsWere toward eternity.

Melbournia on Photography Served Weaving in and out of the city’s laneways and at times venturing beyond, Melbournia takes the viewer on a photographic journey, revealing fragments of an urban environment which collectively form a distinct portrait of the city. Heiko Waechter took up photography in 2007, looking for another creative outlet away from his day job as a web designer. Since then he has been documenting the metropolitan landscape in his adopted home of Melbourne, bypassing the well-known tourist landmarks and rather focusing on his personal iconography, derived from a more intimate association and familiarity with inner city life. Born in Germany, Heiko brings some of the characteristic design sensibilities of his homeland to his work. His photographs capture facets of the world around him – subjects often appear isolated from their surrounds, which allows their intrinsic beauty to shine through. Minimal in scope, images are composed by the decision to omit as much as to include certain details in the frame.
