What I wonder is whether in 50 years, somebody will come across today's Vivian Maier. My feeling is that it's far less likely that our own generation will produce such a figure. It isn't that I think there aren't amateur, unknown photographers out there with as much or more talent as Maier. I think there are probably tens of thousands of them. But I think they exist in a much more vast pool of unknown amateur photographers, and that their images will be buried in pixels beneath billions of Instagramed photos of tacos. We'll not see the likes of this again.</p>

<p>Yeah, I first heard about Vivian Maier a couple years ago on that WTTW show mentioned earlier. She is a true local treasure. She was able to capture the extraordinary aspects of life that we typically miss in the mundane world around us. She forced me to rethink the way I looked at things. Now if that isn't art, then I don't know what is. Don't miss the Cultural Center exhibit.</p>

<p>Even if the show is sparse compared to the various different prints made, I don't care. It's nice to be left wanting more. And, that's where the blog (and other institutions) could come in later.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed with the limited number of prints. Like you mentioned, a lot of them were also on the blog. All in all though, I enjoyed looking at her photography, especially the ones of children. She had a knack for catching kids at their finest.<br></br>

Not a huge number of prints, about two rooms, but absolutely worth the trip (and the admission price ;-) ). We probably spent about 20 minutes in the exhibit, taking our time.</p>
<p>Several cases of personal effects were very cool to see-- random handwritten notes, the cameras, a few of the hats that cast the distinctive shadows in many of her images. My favorite was a note with instructions written by the clerk to the film processing service that said, among other instructions, something to the effect of "do good job, customer is very particular."</p>

<p>Enter from the Washington side of the Cultural Center and go to your right on the main level.</p>
<p>Open 'til 7 Monday through Thursday and 6 on Fri/Sat/Sun, I think.</p>
