Vivian Maier, street photographer and nanny

I love a good story, and this is just that. Thousands and thousands of photographs found by a real-estate agent and some amazing work uncovered. It is not only the story of this particular individual that is relevant to the work I am doing, but all of her subjects as well. As a street photographer many of these photos must be of people she doesn't know. And if there are as many as they say there are then she certainly photographed hundreds of strangers each day. So when do they stop being strangers? Some of the photos they show in this short documentary are quite breathtaking and wonderful candid shots of life in her time. This woman is going to be living on through her photos, which she never even thought people knew about. It makes you wonder about all of the millions of others out there and what they are all doing they never thought people would ever know, or perhaps care, about.

Here is a link to the blog created in her name.
And a few of my favorite photos of hers.
