my life is in boxes

“My life is in boxes, said Vivian Maier-and the boxes held 100,000 images of New York and Chicago and many of them brilliant.
Vivian Maier (1926-2009) worked as a nanny and died on April 2009. When she was interviewed for a job she said, “ I came with my life and my life is in boxes.” When she showed up to begin for work she brought 200 boxes. Many of them held her photographic equipment and negatives.
She died on April 2009 and her rented lockers had gone unpaid and the contents were up for sale. A young real estate agent John Maloof brought some of the boxes and since then Vivian Maier’s talent is recognized.
Early last year, there was a exhibition of her work at the Chicago Cultural Centre.
