Discovery of an amazing photographer

I stumbled upon this story and found it pretty amazing. Vivian Maier was a Chicago-area nanny from the 1950s to the 1990s; she died in 2009. Shortly following her death, tens of thousands of negatives were discovered among her possessions. The families who employed her seemingly never knew much about her, but it appears that Ms. Maier spent nearly all of her time off exploring Chicago with a camera. And now, after her death, people are calling her "one of the greatest street photographers of the 20th century."

Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
