I ran across this blog the other day and find myself going back and back to take another look.
The haunting works of gritty street photographer Vivian Maier were discovered in a Chicago storage space whose contents were being auctioned off after delinquent payments.
Purchased by John Maloof, the 30- 40, 000 negatives, had been sitting, boxed and forgotten for years until Maloof began the process of sorting through, printing and researching the mystery of who Vivian Maier was.
The blog is a posthumous retrospection of the work of an indelible, prolific artist who managed not only to capture the man on the street, but deep emotion and something beyond the visage of an everyday pedestrian.
Maloof did a little research on Maier and the results are on his site as is a continuous update of her work.
