Vivian Meier

Vivian Meier was an American woman who was born in New York, grew up in France and later came back to Chicago, where she worked as a nanny for about 40 years.

The interesting part of her story is when you find out that she was a woman with a passion for photography but never took photography classes. She took her camera everywhere and took her photographs but never developed her rolls of film. I couldn't stop thinking how she didn't want to see the images she had taken?

How could she live without developing her rolls of films? How could she not want to see the images she was taking? Did she really remember all her frames? Maybe she didn't. Maybe she was trying to be someone else? I don't know, but I do think that in today's digital world, that could be something almost impossible.

Her works will be displayed in New York in 2012.
