从上世纪50年代开始，Vivian Maier就在工作之余用一台Rollei双反相机拍摄街景，直至2009年逝世，她一共留下了超过10万张胶片，完整记录下芝加哥、纽约和巴黎在过去40年中的变迁。
Vivian Maier的作品直到2007年才被人们发现，她的照片敏锐而直率地捕捉到人们所流露出的情感，城市化进程所带来的变化、不同宗教和文化群体的种种境遇，
也被她记录在胶片中。通过挖掘人们的集体记忆，Vivian Maier展现出生活中动人的一面，将再平凡不过的日常景象，转变为出色的生活纪实，
从某种意义上说，足以与William Klein、Cartier-Bresson这些当时最著名的街头摄影师比肩。
2007年在一场拍卖会上被电影制片人John Maloof拍得后重见天日，她遂被摄影界公认为是20世纪最伟大的摄影师之一。
值得一提的是，Vivian Maier生前才华横溢，却默默无闻做了40年保姆，去世后留下10万多张芝加哥街景和街头人像底片，
Vivian Maier的正式职业是一名保姆，她的所有拍摄都是在工作之外的业余时间里完成的，由于经济原因，绝大多数胶片都没有冲洗。
你不需要成为一名摄影师，一样可以成为一个出色的记录者。

1. 作者自述——“胶片时代的上海”，这是陆元敏首次应邀写出自己的摄影心情:
我一直幻想一台眨一下眼就能拍摄的相机，LOMO相机在大多数情况下不用取景就可拍摄。它像是眼睛的延伸物，和眼睛有着一根看不见的连线，用它常常能拍到预想中的、甚至比预想得更好的影像......我又是一个有着反复拍摄热忱的人，生活安逸、身体健康，有很多的闲暇时间，只是不断流逝的时间使我心慌。当一个摄影家用相机抓住时光，拍取瞬间，带入暗房，巫术般地在微光下再现瞬间时，摄影术的整个过程都充满了神奇，只要享受它便会其乐无穷。

Liu Heung Shing was born in Hong Kong in 1951. Three years later, he returned to China, settling in Fuzhou in the southeastern province of Fujian. There he received his early education, moving back to Hong Kong in 1962 to attend high school. In1971, Liu enrolled at New York City's Hunter College where he studied political science and journalism.
He was first introduced to photography in his final year at the college in a course taught by renowned Life magazine photographer, Gjon Mili. His childhood exposure to drawing and painting enhanced his understanding and enthusiasm for photography, and in 1976, following his graduation from Hunter Colege, he became Mili's apprentice. During this unique experience, Liu was deeply influenced by Mili's editorial and aesthetic ideas.
In 1976, Liu began working for Time magazine on assignments in China, starting with a story on the death of Mao. Five years later, he joined the Associated Press, and now travels extensively through China, writing as well as photographing for AP
