Vivian Maier - Street Photography

As some of us in Analog just finished our street photography assignment, I thought it would be interesting to share the work of Vivian Maier. Maier was a nanny who took photographs in her spare time, however her work was never discovered until recently a massive chest containing thousands of her negatives was auctioned off. John Maloof now owns these photographs and has produced a book and showcased her work in several exhibitions. Maier's work has now received massive critical acclaim. Her photographs depict riveting and unique moments making her work inspiring in her approach to street photography.
(Maier lived in New York for some time so her work is really a great source of inspiration for all of us.)
