The Unknown Street Photographer

When you've got a little time, spend it going through the street images of the late Vivian Maier.  There's some really amazing work there, most from the 1950's and 1960's and all on 6x6 medium format.

Just as amazing is that Vivian Maier was completely unknown until after her death, what you might call the Emily Dickinson of street photographers.  Her work only came to light after a chance purchase at a flea market.  You can read more details of the discovery at Chicago Mag.  It's awfully hard to read about the whole story and not be very sad.
