John Maloof acquired Vivian’s negatives while at a furniture and antique auction. Vivian Maier was a street photographer from the 1950s – 1970s, based in Chicago. Her discovered work includes between 30-40,000 mostly medium format negatives. Since the discovery, John has created a photography blog dedicated to Vivian Maier’s work in which he publishes her pictures.

City streets are perhaps the most paradoxically anonymous and personal of all public spaces in the city: people blindly collide in their rush to reach their destinations, while the homeless look for humanity amid the thousands passing by. Gary Stochl captures this daily drama in On City Streets, a penetrating examination of the unpredictable people, places, and events that make up the streets of downtown Chicago. It is a stunning collection made even more so by the fact that this is the first work of Stochl’s to be seen in his forty years as a photographer.
