""An unassuming Chicago babysitter named Vivian Maier was one of
the pioneers of street photography. But for 60 years, nobody knew
it." --"The New York Times Style Magazine
""Her work alternately brings to mind Lisette Model, Leon
Levinstein, Harry Callahan, Garry Winogrand, Weegee, Helen Levitt
and Robert Frank. But the uncracked nut at the core of her mystery
