A self-portrait that’s #NotVIVIANMAIER. Though hopefully my digital photos will last just as long as her film.

“Self portrait in Green”, 2026, St. Louis, @ratkeydesigns.bsky.social.
Vivian Maier was a nanny but also an amazing street photographer. Though mostly unknown as the majority of her work wasn’t discovered until 2007 at a Chicago thrift auction. A small collection of her street photos are self-portraits in reflective objects like slide 7 (https://www.vivianmaier.com/gallery/self-portraits/#slide-7 ). Which is what this entry is based on. I learned about Maier’s work while working on my BA in Graphic Design and realized that here  was a photographer who’s street work was more than just snap shots but had a photojournalistlistict flare. Which in turn validated my continued efforts to capture the world around me even if it was mundane, from a new perspective. And to tell a story. Not to force one into my compositions, but capture a small slice of frozen time. To share if just for a moment how I see the world, for that’s all photography is.

A mound of broken concrete and twisted metal rises beneath a clear blue sky beside a red building façade. In a window on the right, a colourful poster shows two people dancing energetically against a purple background, creating a striking contrast between demolition and celebration.

A small, brightly illuminated window high within a vast, dark, textured wall reveals two figures seen from behind, one with long blonde hair, the other partly obscured. Warm interior light contrasts with the nearly black exterior.

A close view of a weathered building wall covered in thin, irregular traces of climbing vines. A narrow turquoise strip separates the pale upper surface from a darker, mottled lower section. Along the left edge, vertical metal bars and parts of several windows are visible against a brown façade.

Blackpool, 2008. A tightly cropped photograph of an ornate, illuminated two-storey fairground carousel at dusk. Bright orange and yellow bulbs trace the scalloped canopy, decorated with painted blue scenes of buildings and waterways. White carousel horses with colourful saddles surround the central staircase. Increased colour saturation emphasises the warm lights and vivid blue panels against the dark background.Mark Gertler’s Merry-Go-Round (1916). A colourful, stylised painting of a carousel packed with rigid, expressionless riders in military uniforms and civilian clothing. White and blue horses circle beneath a sharply pointed orange canopy, surrounded by sweeping blue and white shapes against a dark background. Strong geometric forms and intense colours create a crowded, unsettling atmosphere.

Blackpool, 2008. An ornate two-storey fairground carousel photographed in fading daylight. Rows of warm yellow bulbs illuminate its scalloped canopy, decorated with painted scenes of buildings and waterways. White carousel horses with colourful saddles stand around the circular platform, with a staircase leading to the upper level. The darkening sky and seafront are visible beyond.George Hendrik Breitner’s Kermis op het Haarlemmerplein (1893–1913). Atmospheric oil painting depicting a traditional fairground carousel in Amsterdam’s Haarlemmerplein. The round carousel has a broad, pale canopy with horses and riders beneath it, surrounded by loosely painted figures in period clothing. Dark urban buildings form the backdrop, while muted browns, ochres and greens capture the bustle of the fairground in a subdued, impressionistic style.

Photo is of an installation I created (called 'Kitchen Nightmare') for a promenade theatre production 'Learning the Rules of Chinese Whispers'. It was a giant lampshade made from barbed wire and kitchen utensils which cast amazing shadows around the room, heavily influenced by Cornelia Parker's 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View'. (I think this is probably cheating as it's very much #DeliberateArtist rather than #AccidentalArtist.)

A garden shed, and its various miscellaneous contents, were blown to smithereens by the army. The pieces of the shed and its contents were then suspended using transparent wire, as if in mid explosion, and were lit by a single light bulb at the centre, casting dramatic shadows around the room.

Intersecting rooftops and walls form an angular composition of vivid orange, dark red and charcoal grey. A projecting structure with sharply sloping edges dominates the foreground, while sunlight and deep shadows divide the textured surfaces into geometric planes.

A layered shop-window reflection combines a mannequin's vivid orange hair and elaborate floral headpiece with the pale façade and dark windows of a building opposite. Horizontal architectural lines cross the hair, while a partial face wearing glasses appears at the left, making the overlapping figures and reflections difficult to distinguish.

Grand Canyon, Arizona, photographed in 2013. An expansive view of layered sandstone cliffs, broad rocky terraces and deep ravines in shades of pink, brown and muted purple. A flat, weathered rock ledge dominates the right foreground, overlooking steep canyon walls in deep shadow. Distant mesas stretch towards the horizon beneath a pale blue sky.Arthur Wesley Dow's Cosmic Cities, Grand Canyon of Arizona (1912). Painting depicting the Grand Canyon in striking shades of blue, violet, lavender and muted red. Monumental, flat-topped rock formations and steep canyon walls overlap in successive layers, with pale blue slopes contrasting against deep purple shadows. The composition emphasises the canyon's vast scale and architectural, almost city-like geological forms.

Close-up of water droplets falling into a drinking fountain with a weathered, dark brown surface crossed by vivid turquoise, roughly parallel bands. Diagonal structures, scratches and irregular pale marks appear between them. The falling water creates translucent streaks and splashes across the rough surface.

Abstract reflection of a street and houses - the composition isdominated by intense cobalt and deep blue. A jagged, luminous band of pale blue and white stretches diagonally across the image, intersected by dark lines and angular shapes. Fine scratches, curved streaks and layered textures cover the surface, creating a sense of depth and movement.
