self-portrait of Maier
"Raised in the U.S. and France, Maier made her way through life as an eccentric nanny (she liked to wear men's shoes and always arrived at new positions with dozens of boxes), she died at the age of 83.... As it happens, on her days off, Maier took photographs, Mostly they were of street life in Chicago, although she traveled around the world. And as it happens, she was very good. She kept her negatives and many undeveloped rolls of film in those boxes..." -TIME magazine
