The photos are amazing, in the style of Robert Frank, WeeGee, and some of Annie Leibovitz's work.<p>The story is also compelling -- about Maier's life, work, death in obscurity, and the fortuitous circumstances of discovery by John Maloof, who has now made this his life's work.<p>However, the OP should link to the primary source:<p><a href="http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/</a>
I know nothing about photography and I fully expected to be underwhelmed by this link, but damn are those some awesome, compelling photos. This woman had a natural talent.
