Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier was a street photographer in a day when people
smoked cigarettes and slept in their cars.

But what's more interesting is no one knew this until after
her death in 2009 when buckets of her negatives were
discovered at an estate sale.

A nanny in Chicago during the 40's-60's, Maier will certainly
go down in history as one of the most highly regarded street
photographers of her, or any other, era.

the first showing of her work is currently on view at
the Chicago Cultural Center.
