Vivian Mayer's color street photography
I would have a hard time not showing 150,000 photos that I've taken, but that's what Vivian Mayer did. A nanny and self-taught photographer, she snapped photos of city life but hid them until an estate sale revealed them after her death.

You can see more color photos over at Colossal or buy a book of it. There's also a site that features her black and white photos.
