My Vivian Maier Experience-Glen Thompson's Photography

I am currently going through my dad's archive of negatives taken in the 1940's and 50's.
I am coming across pics I have never seen before and neither has anyone else.
I hope ,God willing, to put on an exhibition of his photos one day.
This blog may not get much update for a while.
This is a major project.
See earlier posts on my Dad's photography and influence on my photography.
To my knowledge no one else has seen these below  pics before.
Scanned from negatives.
My Dad didn't print everything he photographed.
He processed his pics in a makeshift home darkroom with an enlarger he made himself.

Discovering Photographic Genius

One of my favourite things and I guess it is so for many photographers is to find old pictures and negatives that are "lost" or unknown.
I have alluded to many photos in my familie's collections on this blog before.
A discovery of "lost" photography  has been taking the world by storm.
See the link below to see all the excitement about Vivien Maier.

I look at her story and wonder what is going to happen to all my unpublishd slides,movies, negatives, audio tapes,video tapes when I am gone.
I am sure many of us are not unlike Vivien if not necessarily as talented.
