“…Vivian Maier, was an amateur street photographer who lived her whole life unnoticed by the world until after her death when a man bought a box of her photo negatives at an auction. He discovered an amazing collection of work and has spent the last 3 years trying to scan, categorize and print over 100,000 photo negatives taken by her, not to mention the boxes of still undeveloped rolls. People are saying her work is some of the most insightful street photography of the 50’s and 60’s and she is now starting to gain attention worldwide.” (adapted from a caption by creepyhearts, but I used a different photograph.)

Please click the photo for a link to Vivian Maier’s photography. It’s very simple, beautiful and insightful. It seems to me that it is both good and bad that her talent was never discovered in her lifetime - perhaps she wouldn’t have produced as many beautiful images if someone had found her, but it’s still very sad that she will never know how much people loved her work. Regardless, you won’t regret clicking that link.
