Self Portrait of Vivian Maier
Now with thanks to Kickstarter and a video on Chicago Tonight, enough interest has been created to collect monies to fund a feature length documentary film on Vivian's work. It also seems that Power House is publishing a monograph of her work. If you donate enough money to Kickstarter, the book is included. In my humble analog opinion, this story is not only about the power of incredible talent, but the power of shooting film and the legacy that it allows.
Photographer and terrific blogger, Blake Andrews, has a long and interesting post on Vivian that's worth reading.

This is an amazing story and Vivian's images are extraordinary. John Maloof has become an accidental archivist! I can't imagine the depth and breadth of what his has in his possession. Unbelievable and inspiring photographs.
There is a blog only dedicated to her.Here:http://vivianmaier.blogspot.com/
I had been following since day one, Fascinating no?
Love, love, LOVE her work!
It makes me feel like a little girl again having been shot during my little girl years. I am touched and humbled by this work.
