I am just stupefied that a nanny took so many incredibly candid shots during a time when photo-taking was still in its prime. Her photos are really magical. I will dare to say that, to me, her work is much more interesting than Dorothea Lange’s.
Thanks so much, Mark, for this tip-off.

Thanks for the comment David. I’ll take a look at the Kickstart project, I would absolutely love to see a documentary about her.

i chanced upon this show on a visit to Chicago earlier this week. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
hard to believe that a photographer of her caliber could pass unnoticed until now. i feel blessed to have seen the show.
John Maloof is working on a documentary film about Vivian and is seeking support via Kickstart.com. you can make a contribution and get a copy of the film and/or a forthcoming book.
Kudos to you Mark for spreading the word about her.
