Self-portrait by Vivian Maier.

Finding Vivian Maier: Chicago Street Photographer opens at The Chicago Cultural Center this Friday, January 7th at 5:30PM.

A blog about her life and photo work is here.

One of my favorite Vivian Maier images I have seen so far.

Here is an article about her in Chicago Magazine. If you know what's good for you, you will haul your ass down to the opening of her photography retrospective at the Chicago Cultural Center tomorrow night at 6PM.

Eye-patched man with family, c1940s

Schoolgirls praying, c1950s

Chicago Cabinet: Views from the Street. On view through January 17th at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Stunning!
