I'm posting this link here to an article about a documentary I'm watching about a photographer whose body of work was discovered after her death.
Anyone in Chicago heard of Vivian Maier? I'd never heard of her but I'm sure it was in all the papers.
Negatives and photos were bought at a storage locker auction and then flipped on ebay.

I'd heard about her after I'd already moved away from Chicago - was a few years ago when the story came to light - correct? Or maybe I'm thinking of a different everyday woman who, once she got her hands on a camera, it never left her...and she had thousands of images, undeveloped, in a storage locker. Has to be the same gal. In any case, a very Henry Darger-esque quality to it that I just love.
