Vivian Maier Discovered

I recently stumbled on the work of Vivian Maier, a prolific documentary photographer that seemingly never found an audience for her work (not too sure she ever looked for one). 15+ years of  incessant photographing of Chicago life yielded thousands of negatives (many still undeveloped) and thankfully John Maloof found the work at an antique [...]
