Vivian Maier: The Invisible Woman




I was so delighted to learn about the recently discovered street photographer Vivian Maier from Chicago. Who knew a young nanny from the 1950's spent all her weekends capturing some of the most amazing street photography seen in decades! It's a shame that her talent went unrecognized for so long and that she can't enjoy the credit she so highly deserves. At least the young man who bought her work from a storage locker is making sure she gets the credit she is due.
