Vivian Maier







These are a small number of street photos by Vivian Maier. Vivian was an American born French lady who moved back to America in the early 50's. She worked as a live in nanny for 40 years but had a passion for photography. It is said that she took around 100, 000 photos from around the world but mostly from her adopted town of Chicago.

Her street art portraits are stunning plus extremely charismatic and to think her work was completely unknown until after her death. The mostly undeveloped films where found in 2007 by a local historian. I strongly suggest any one to check out some of her photos they are a brilliant slice of history and really capture the moment of their creation.
