Out of the dark room, into the light
By Lucky Gold, CNN
Imagine a world where a nanny became one of the world's great photographers – six years after her death.
Vivian Maier's self-portraits are mesmerizing, but they tell us very little about the enigmatic woman who spent the 1950's and '60's in Chicago.
Caring for children to make a living and cradling a camera to pursue her secret passion: capturing the extraordinary in ordinary people.

She might have died as anonymously as she lived, if the thousands of undeveloped negatives she left behind weren't bought at a local auction for a few hundred dollars.
Sri Lankan diplomat says rights criticism a 'proxy propaganda war'
India PM boycotts Commonwealth summit
CNN's Fred Pleitgen, in for Christiane Amanpour, speaks with Indian Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid.
By Susannah Cullinane, CNN
(CNN) - Sri Lanka's high commissioner to Britain has blamed criticism of his country's human rights record on a "proxy propaganda war" being carried out by those who funded the nation's "terrorist conflict."
The prime ministers of Canada, Mauritius and India have withdrawn from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, or CHOGM, beginning in Colombo on Friday, amid concerns about the rights situation in Sri Lanka after its 26-year civil war with separatist Tamil rebels.
Speaking to CNN's Fred Pleitgen for the "Amanpour" show on the eve of the summit, Chris Nonis said he was unsurprised by the criticism.
"One has to understand that there's a tremendous influence from those who funded the terrorist conflict who are now carrying out, really, a proxy propaganda war.
Capture on high seas, Russian prison train, a brother in jail
By Claire Calzonetti and Mick Krever, CNN
The Russian detention of dozens of Greenpeace activists is about nothing more than a desire to drill for oil, the sister of one of those in jail told CNN’s Fred Pleitgen on Wednesday.
“They're trying to find some reason to detain them so that they can continue drilling in the Arctic, is what I make of it,” Lara Litvinov, sister of Dima Litvinov, who has been in detention in Russia since September.
It was a skirmish at sea that culminated in a crew on its knees, guns drawn, and communications equipment smashed, according to Greenpeace.
‘Seeds of genocide’ sown in Central African Republic, U.N. official warns
By Mick Krever, CNN
The “seeds of a genocide” may be being sown in the Central African Republic, John Ging, director of the U.N. Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, warned on Wednesday.
That country is descending into violent anarchy; a civil war there has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
“We are very worried that the conflict is inciting more division between Muslim and Christian communities,” Ging said. “We are very, very concerned that the seeds of a genocide are being sown.”
Fundamental humanitarian constraints exposed by Philippines typhoon, U.N. official says
By Mick Krever, CNN
The humanitarian devastation in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines shows just how overstretched the global humanitarian community is, John Ging, director of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said Wednesday.
“One of the biggest constraints that we have is that we can’t fill the warehouses in anticipation of these disasters because we’re overstretched worldwide,” Ging told CNN’s Fred Pleitgen, sitting in for Christiane Amanpour.
“There are children starving in the Sahel; you look at Syria every day,” he said. “We are chronically underfunded as a humanitarian community, and then when these natural disasters hit us suddenly, we don’t also have the logistical or the supplies to hand.”

Typhoon death estimates 'too much,' President Aquino of the Philippines tells Amanpour
By Dominique van Heerden, CNN
A well-publicized estimate that Typhoon Haiyan killed 10,000 people in the Philippines is "too much," and the death toll likely is closer to 2,000 or 2,500, President Benigno Aquino told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.
“There was emotional trauma involved with that particular estimate quoting both the police official and local government,” he said, adding that “they did not have a basis for it”. He did however acknowledge that the number “might still get higher.”
President Aquino said they are still trying to establish their numbers and have another 29 municipalities to contact before they can finalize a death toll.
