It is hard enough to find these\u003cbr\u003equalities  in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a  community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding  their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no  formal training and no network of peers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet Vivian Maier is all  of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the  1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide—from France to New York  City to Chicago and dozens of other countries—and yet showed the results  to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and  for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images  of all facets of city life in America’s post-war golden age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt  wasn’t until local historian John Maloof purchased a box of Maier’s  negatives from a Chicago auction house and began collecting and  championing her marvelous work just a few years ago that any of it saw  the light of day.
