under the radar

vivian maier (1926-2009) was a french-born amateur photographer who spent most of her life in chicago working as a nanny and takin' pictures of "the streets." she wore men's jackets, men's shoes, large hats and pretty much all of her photographs remained unknown and undeveloped until some rich bro bought 100,000 negatives at an auction. she died two years later and now she's famous.
