Default Finding Vivian Maier:great story about unknown photographer.
Just found a link to a blog about someone finding over 100,000 negatives from a women who did street photography for over 30 years, and nobody ever saw her work. This gentleman is now scanning all her pictures and posting them. There is even an exhibit in Chicago now of some of her work. This is a great story.

And here is a link to the exhibit:

These are some great shots. everybody please take a look. And if your in Chicago, stop in and pay respect to a lady who did it for the love of it.
