THE NANNY AND THE ROLLEIFLEX.



Vivian Maier, the newfound street photographer everybody's talking about: a mysterious nanny, who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers and discovered decades later.
I really enjoyed going through the online archive of her images, and the ones which hit me the most were her self portraits, her image (always with a serious, straight-faced expression) reflected on every kind of mirrored surface.
To learn more about the nanny with the rolleiflex, have a look at her story here, or watch the interesting documentary Finding Vivian Maier.
