Video: previously unknown Chicago nanny, Vivian Maier, now recognized as one of the best street photographers who ever lived; documentary made by Charlie Siskel, critic Gene's nephew

From PetaPixel:

     Peviously unknown amateur street photographer Vivian Dorothea Maier worked for forty years as a nanny in Chicago. She passed away in 2009, but had compiled a body of work that weighed in at roughly 100,000 images.
     After the images started being shown to the public, people discovered that the work was of the same caliber as many of the biggest names in photography. Due to the critical acclaim, the work was very quickly picked up by media outlets and also exhibited in countries around the world. In 2011, Maloof published a book on Maier’s work, titled, “Vivian Maier: Street Photographer.”
     ...You can view many of Maier’s photos over on the official website that was created for her after the discovery of her images.
