This woman was a nanny in the second half of the last century. Apparently, she took her children and camera out on daily excursions and took quick photos of everything. She went through the activity of getting the 100,000 negatives processed and then never shared the photos, not even with the kids or their parents! She hoarded her photos along with many other things and ended up putting it into storage units when she moved to Chicago.
It wasn't until 2007 when she stopped paying the rent on her staorage unit that they auctioned off her hoard of newspapers, etc., The man who bought the contents found her stash of negatives. He dscovered a treasure. Take a look... she makes city life look interesting.
I love her work.
