Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier ( 1926-2009)  was a street photographer who always kept her camera close, much like an extension of her artistic mind and body. She took more than 100,000 photography’s while travelling, capturing streets, kids, people – life and its precious moments. Her photography’s were not discovered until 2007, mostly because of her introvert life. Her art was discovered by accident, John Maloof (historian and collector) found it in her apartment for life. After John Maloofs contribution, her photography’s travelled the world and she was recognized in an instant as a truly gifted photographer. He never had a chance to meet her, as much as she never had a chance to know how much her art was appreciated – she devoted her whole life to photography and used to work as a nanny.
