Vivian Maier: Life of the "Nanny Photographer"

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Richard Cahan, Author; former Sun-Times picture editor



Join Richard Cahan in a look at Vivian Maier, the
"nanny photographer" who became a worldwide sensation after her
photography was discovered in 2009. Maier worked as a nanny much of her life on
Chicago's North Shore, and chronicled the times in her photographs. Her photo
negatives were auctioned off at a storage locker sale in 2007. The work went
viral following her death in 2009, and she is now recognized as one of the
great photographers of the twentieth century. The talk will trace her life story
and also show her photographs, in which you will see breathtaking images of
everyday life in urban America.
