Vivian Mairer was an incredible photographer as well an interesting story. A nanny from Chicago, Mairer was virtually unknown when she passed away in 2009 at the age of 83. Her work was discovered in a storage auction, more than 100, 000 negatives and undeveloped rolls of film. Her work spans from the 1950's to the 1970's, not much is known about the images, although some had a date and/or location specified. Her work has the obvious feeling of nostalgia but her style seems incredibly modern, this juxtaposition is incredible and almost impossible to reproduce. I am completely in love with her work, expect another post soon...
