Vivian Maier

Vivian MalerViviam Maier Was a street photographer from the 1950’s to the 1970’s. She was a native of France but lived for 50 years in Chicago where she took most of her images. She was very much unknown until now. A year before her death, John Maloof purchased a box of her negatives at an auction which had obtained her things from a storage locker that had delinquent payments. At that time, he had no idea what treasure he had: turned out to be about 30-40,000 negatives with some 10-15,000 still undeveloped.

He is now developing them and posting them on a blog.
