Heroes, Wool, & Bad Teachers

I am at Mom's this morning so I want to keep things in a positive frame of mind. What is more positive than stores about young heroes?

From young heroes to unusually made Ferraris.

Do you think they are pulling the Wool over our eyes? Would feel safe in the car should it crash?

OK, the last article isn't positive but I thought the teacher attaching McDonalds' applications to failed tests was pretty darn funny.

Who Am I?

I was an American street photographer born in 1926 and dying in 2009. I worked forty years in Chicago as a Nanny during which I took about 100,000 photographs, primarily of people and cityscapes most often in Chicago. My photographs remained unknown and mostly undeveloped until they were discovered by a local historian. After my death my work began to receive critical acclaim. I was described by my curator as a Socialist, a Feminist, a movie critic, and a tell-it-like-it-is person. Born in France when I moved to the US I learned English by going to theaters. I wore a men's jacket, men's shoes and a large hat most of the time. For a brief period in the 1970s, I worked as a nanny for Phil Donahue's children. A review defined my work "[The well-to-do shoppers of Chicago stroll and gossip in all their department-store finery before Her, but the most arresting subjects are those people on the margins of successful, rich America in the 1950s and 1960s: the kids, the black maids, the bums flaked out on shop stoops." My work was first published on the Internet the year before I died while I was homeless. If you do not know who am I maybe you should wonder about THE LIFE AND WORK OF a STREET PHOTOGRAPHER, that will help you answer the question, Who Am I?
