I found out about the work of photographer Vivian Maier from my friend Shawn. Today we saw the documentary about her life. Vivian Maier was a mysterious nanny who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that went unsceen during her lifetime. Historian John Maloof bought her work at an auction hoping to find out parts of history. The rest of the story unfolds in this riveting documentary of Vivian Maier. Her black and white shots of the city, children, and still life made me cry.
