Vivian Maier's self portrait
"Chicago nanny Vivian Maier died in 2009, leaving behind 100,000 negatives that no one but she had ever seen. Her work was discovered by chance, and now the photographs she took on her days off are being hailed as 'ranking up there' with the best in 20th-century street photography."

This may take awhile to watch (9 minutes and 40 seconds, to be exact) but, if you're into street photography – or any other kind of photography, for that matter – I promise you this will be worth your time.
