I recently watched "Finding Vivian Maier" on Showtime, and loved it. It received a nomination for this year's Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Anyone else see it? I was happy to see it being shown on Showtime, since I don't think it played in any of the art theatres in my area.

Synopsis from the film's website:

"Finding Vivian Maier is the critically acclaimed documentary about a mysterious nanny, who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers and, discovered decades later, is now among the 20th century's greatest photographers. Directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, Maier's strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never before seen photographs, films, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her."

You can check out some of her work on the official Vivian Maier website (as well as learn more about her as an individual): http://www.vivianmaier.com/gallery/street-1/
