I went to go see the Vivian Maier exhibit at the Cultural Center in the loop last Thursday. For an unknown amateur, Maier’s work is masterful — and it left me wanting to see more. I didn’t take too many good photos at the exhibit, but my cousin and her friend Vivian (by coincidence) had a fun time exploring the building before moving on to the Art Institute.

I’ve noticed that I’ve been shooting a lot of extra wide, setting-conscious photos. Not really out of choice, but rather out of habit and the convenience of having one fast, versatile zoom lens to carry around with me. I’m going to try and make a conscious effort to take a step closer and get more intimate / detailed shots when I’m out and about.
