VIVIAN MAIER

A few months ago photographer John Maloof discovered a huge cache of photographs and negatives (many unprocessed) by an unknown Chicago photographer named Vivian Maier. It was an incredible find and a great story. I've been following along ever since and eagerly look forward to John's updates of Maier's work. A few recently rediscovered images:

Want learn more about the photographer? She now has a wikipedia page.

Incredible. To keep your work a secret until you die is amazing. I don't think anybody does that with anything anymore.

I missed this one !

I emailed the gallery to price one of her self-portraits, it's the self-portraits I like so much. There is something about her life history that moves me. There is an innocence in her work and lack of agenda.

Thanks, Raul.
