This Guardian article describes "Vivian Maier, who died in 2009, leaving behind 100,000 negatives that no one but she had ever seen. The photographs are being hailed as among the best in 20th-century street photography".

There are several helpful web sites, including:
The official web site
and a blog.

This trailer for a forthcoming film on the subject shows enough self portraits for a page on their own. There are 40 of them here.

Intro

I will gradually transfer the web site page to Blogger. First an old snap of me. solarised.

This page will be for other people's photographs and was brought on by seeing Ilse Bing's Autoportrait au Leica, 1931 in a Sotheby's auction.

It's as well not to take these things too seriously: here's a blog of Great Snaps recreated in Lego.
