More Lost Street Treasures

The discovery of Vivian Maier's work has had a tremendous impact on the web and on the photographic world, so it was perhaps predictable that the output of some other heretofore unknown street photographers would start to get attention as well. One of these is Frank Oscar Larson, a banker who shot mostly on the weekends and after his retirement. His images provide a real window on 1950's New York, and well, they just look cool. He's not in Maier's class though, and I seriously doubt any other 'forgotten photographer' will ever come close.
