A Chicago nanny is being discovered as one of the most visionary, prolific street photographers of the mid-20th Century, several years after her death. The photographer, whose charges she watched as a nanny have described her as a Mary Poppins type, is Vivian Maier, born in 1926 and died in 2009. Her work remained primarily undeveloped and undiscovered until a John Maloof, a Chicago historian, discovered rolls and rolls of undeveloped film at an auction of items from a storage unit. He subsequently became the curator of her work.
