Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Fotografiska New York is presenting the first major retrospective in the United States showcasing the work of the late photographer Vivian Maier. NEW YORK, NY.- Vivian Maier was a disappearance artist. Street photographers typically keep hidden when shooting, but Maier receded in every aspect of her life. Her now well-known story, which has contributed greatly to her posthumous fame, is that while she supported herself through employment as a nanny, her true vocation was photography. She worked primarily in black-and-white with a square-format Rolleiflex, the same camera used by many of the greats, including Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon and Bill Brandt.

How groundbreaking is Vivian Maier's photography?
