Vivian Maier (1926 – 2009). I only just heard of her, but it seems her fame as an amateur photographer has been growing steadily since 2007. Wikipedia has information on her life and work, and there are a large number of her photographs viewable at VivianMaier.com, where you can also find information on purchasing prints.
Here are just three of her photographs which especially caught my eye.
August, 1958, Churchill, Canada
January, 1956, Chicago, IL
January, 1953, New York, NY
Hat-tip to Jess* [ Miss ✱ Appletosh ] on Diaspora* who, amazingly, was able to unearth an article about Vivian Maier from the pile of pooh that makes up a large part of the content at BuzzFeed.
