a photo treasure trove discovered
Ever hear of Vivian Maier? No one had heard of her until after she died. That's when they discovered 100,000 negatives of photos she'd taken since the late 40s.
The second half of the twentieth century, captured in New York and Chicago, mainly: fortunately for us, the capturing was done by an expert eye and hand.
Some smart guy bought most of it up at a garage sale for a few bucks, then took it home and discovered an amazing artistic oeuvre. That mild-mannered gal who lives next to you? She's Alfred Stieglitz.
