I ran across a story about a lady who was a Nannie and housekeeper in Chicago in the 1950s And unknown to anyone, she spent most of her free time taking pictures of common people in the city. Only a few pictures shown but it is just great. Here is the link to the story:

Me neither, and having been born and raised on the southside, I was really eager to see them!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!

Thank you for the interesting link. I just visited Chicago 3 weeks ago. Makes you wonder, though...If we walk around snapping pictures of strangers, would it be well received or considered some sort of breech of confidentiality/privacy. How long before someone shoots us. Sad, but probably true, depending on what city you live in. I wonder why she never made any of these public? Such a great talent to be only enjoyed by herself. That certainly suggests a very humble person.
