Vivian Maier , the hidden photographer

Imagine that at the age of 25 you start working as a nanny in New York in the 1950´s,  but in your free time you live a second life dreaming of being a photographer , taking pictures  of ordinary life without any expectations of being rewarded for it . Photos of anonymous people, like you ...till the end of your lige , at the age of 80 in an old people's home . 

Sometimes dreams come true too late
