website IN FOCUS – Vivian Maier

http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/

This website was created by John Maloof in dedication to the photographer Vivian Maier, a street photographer from the 1950s - 1990s. Vivian's work was discovered at an auction in Chicago where she resided most of her life just before her death in 2009. Her discovered work includes over 100,000 mostly medium format negatives, thousands of prints, and countless undeveloped rolls of film.

Vivian Maier was an outstanding, previously unknown 20th century photographer of the highest order. Check out the website to see many of her images and read more about her.

Her astonishing story and some of her pictures were featured in the Sunday Times magazine Spectrum section this weekend. Her work will also appear in London in July during the London Street Photography Festival.
