2. (February 1, 1926 – April 21,
2009) was an American street
photographer, who was born in
New York City and spent much
of her childhood in France.
After returning to the United
States, she worked for
approximately forty years as
a nanny in Chicago, Illinois.
During those years, she took
more than 100,000
photographs, primarily of
people and cityscapes in
Chicago, although she
traveled and photographed
worldwide.
Her photographs remained
unknown and mostly
undeveloped until they were
discovered by a local Chicago
Self-Portrait
