This is a fascinating portfolio of her pics of the streets of New York, Chicago and Europe. Here is the link:

Somewhat reminiscent of Diane Arbus, with a bit of Weegee thrown in for good measure.

I saw this at one point when it ran on the local PBS station: http://findingvivianmaier.com/

I'm no art critic or enthusiast, but I found it interesting.

Myself included in above. I work with people daily, the photographs speak to you in a visual way. I grew up in the city and these photos remind me of how people just walk on by and do not pay attention to what is about them. As a kid I noticed ALL this stuff, but did not understand most of what it was.

The photos reminded my of my parents when they were young. The kid petting the cat was great!
