Quite brilliant and a little sad

What would posses you to take images and then pay a fortune to store them without looking at many of them, only to have them sold because you didnt keep up with the storage payments

How much was she paid as a nanny? A rollex has never been cheap nor was a roll of film a day, when did she get time to develop 84 negs a week

Some of what she shot were seriously good

I switched over part the way through and enjoyed it.

I think the photographs were displayed better on the big screen and the story told so well.

This documentary is well worth keeping to hand for when you can't think of a theme, or you get .....Photographer's Block.......so many of Vivienne's shots are incredible and thought provoking.

I found it to be extremely sad in parts to the point of almost shedding a tear.......please watch it on iPlayer if you missed it.

It shoots the idea of getting model releases for all recognisable subjects down in flames........for Vivienne or for any other Street Photographer to do that would completely kill the essence of the genre.

agreed -  but unfortunately times have moved on when once seeing someone with a camera on 'the street' was unusual today...
