Vivian Maier




A remarkable story of an immense talent lost and fortunately eventually found.

From Messy Nessy...
Picture this: quite possibly the most important street photographer of the 20th century was a 1950s children’s nanny who kept herself to herself and never showed a single one of her photographs to anyone. Decades later in 2007, a Chicago real estate agent and historical hobbyist, John Maloof purchased a box of never-seen, never-developed film negatives of an unknown ‘amateur’ photographer for $380 at his local auction house...
The documentary looks like it'll be pretty good as well...
