Today’s selection is the street photography of Vivian Maier.

Maier’s previously unknown work was uncovered by John Maloof after acquiring thousands of her negatives at an antique auction. Maier died in April this year. It seems that little is known about her or her photographic life. Maloof (apparently not a photographer himself at the time) deserves significant credit for recognising the quality of the work and sharing it with the wider world.

Particularly interesting is the impact the digital age will have on the phenomenon of the undiscovered photographer. There’s little doubt that the web plays a major part in bringing photographic discoveries to a wider audience. Twenty years ago it is unlikely that news of Maier’s negatives would have propagated so widely or so quickly. And more fundamentally, will the nature of digital storage make such discoveries more or less likely in the future?
