Fantastic Vivian Maier self portraits

"Holy crap, are you kidding me? Where does she get off taking something like that? … For photographers who’ve been at it a while, it’s sort of like being at mile 20 of a marathon and having some young punk in street clothes blow by at sprint speed. It brings into question the entire premise of the enterprise. But alas, nothing to do but keep slogging."

Blake Andrews on Vivian Maier. Perfectly sums up the feelings I had while looking at her website last week (“I’m about to go to graduate school for photography and I’m never going to be as good as that damned nanny was!”)

A shiny new site for the work of Vivian Maier, the genius street photographer who toiled and died in obscurity, was unveiled today!
The work is gorgeous and thrilling, and I’m probably not going to get any work done this morning because of it.
