그 시절의 뉴욕, 시카고 사람들
Historical photos of NY and Chicago citizens
Vivian Maier was a nanny for over 40 years in Chicago.
Little did anyone know that she had a secret passion for photography, and spent years (and hundreds of thousands of photographs) documenting streetscapes from the 1940s up through the 1970s.
She had a natural ability to capture American life and moments (although she did take photos abroad as well), many of which offer a telling look into vintage New York or vintage Chicago.
Her work was only unearthed randomly by a real estate agent/historian in 2007,
two years before her death.
The discovery of Maier’s enormous body of work has now placed
her as one of the best street photographers of the mid-century.
