my head is a heart. be that as it may, i just wanted to say i'm reading the vivian maier biography and learning a lot that mr. maloof was unaware of or omitted, like, he said vivian was teaching him photography, but he was selling her images cheap and cropped. surely she wasn't teaching him to make cropped prints of her meticulous work. and i learn that she was still alive while her archive was being ransacked and spread about like she was already dead and that made me sad. could no one have looked for her? helped her? we are more acquisitive of stuff than interested in the living artist. the feeding frenzy won't wait.
