An unsung street photographer - Vivian Maier

I recently discovered the work of Vivian Maier, who spent years in a quiet domestic job, and took over 100,000 photos - mostly of Chicago streets and people. The work sat for years in storage lockers and was sadly only discovered near the time of her death in 2009. It makes me wonder - how many other unsung geniuses and artists hide among us?


An excellent blog by John Maloof, who has over 90% of her collection is linked here.

Thanks Michael for the tip.
