See the work of 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.

A few years ago, Sacha Goldberger found his grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs.

EDIT from BWJones: Warning, this post by Lennie has *Graphic* imagery.
There is not much information about these photos that can be verified, but some of them are very powerful. While looking at them, I felt ashamed that the only place they can be seen are the bowels of the internet seven years later. Other media are busy giving daily updates on the status of Lindsay Lohan’s drug habits, Lady Gaga’s latest outfit and Justin Bieber’s hair.
Edit: The photos were apparently taken by multiple people.
