"Back in March, we blogged about a recently discovered photographer, Vivian Maier. We had the chance to interview John Maloof, the man who brought her photos to the world. Since then, two years after her death, she has been recognized as one of the most fascinating street photographers of the 20th century as more and more people around the world have fallen in love with her work.
"Today, the Chicago Cultural Center is opening her first solo exhibition. In her honor, we bring you this slide show of some of her stunning images, along with her story told by John Maloof and renowned photographer, Mary Ellen Mark."
The video was produced by Lacy Roberts for The Kitchen Sisters and The Hidden World of Girls. If your device doesn't support playing the embedded video, you can watch it on YouTube.
