After deciding two years ago that I really needed to this documentary, I finally got the opportunity last night. It's the story of a nanny who used to wander the streets of Chicago in her spare time and take the most incredible street photos. Nobody knew she had this hobby and she took over 150,000 photos in her life. Nobody knew until John Maloof bought a box of negatives at an auction. Now we know.
What a diverse, interesting and troubled person she was. Such a wonderful story, one of millions that usually go untold. If you get the chance make sure you watch it.
