Ted Forbes is a photographer who shares his passion through youtube. He did a video talking about Vivian Maier. He gave a very different perspective to her work. He likes her work, he thought It was questionable on how her work is being sold.
He said things along the lines of, that because she wasn't alive to produce her own work or tell the person who prints what she wants, Its very much John Maloof's interpretation of her work and how she wanted it printed. How a lot of the pictures that have been sold, are not the best and he thinks that Maier would have had something to say about what could and couldn't be sold. He also goes onto say that the documentary, the people who knew her, said that she would be horrified by what was going on with how things were being sold, as she was a very private person.
Further more with the tags that people add to her such as " turning point in street photography" where Maloof was the person who is pushing for this angle on Maier, which many believe was not what she would have wanted.
