Just saw this on the CBS evening news - Vivian Maier

January 30th, 2011
This is amazing and very humble Street Photography. The new owner bought it all in an auction. It is told about 90,000 images. It was in storage. When she died in 2009, the payments on the storage unit went in arrears, and he bought it all for $400, I think. It is now being galleried. All Medium format Rollei TLR work.

From the story, she sounded like the metaphorical Eleanor Rigby.

Amazing stuff.
