There has recently been a story in the news about a nanny who did street photography for years. All of her photos were put in a storage unit and when she could no longer afford to pay the fee to maintain the unit, all her photographs and belongings were sold. Her name was Vivian Maier. She was an unknown who had a passion for photography and this was long before digital! Her thousands of photographs have been bought by several people who are now discovering they are holding a treasure trove of street photography done by an extremely talented woman who never lived to know the fame that will be hers in death.

To see Vivian Maier's story, check out Part 1 of this documentary by the BBC:

Though I have done a little street photography, I thought perhaps it would be interesting to post a gallery as an incentive to shoot more in this genre.
