This is the official trailer for the documentary film, Finding Vivian Maier.
COMING TO THEATERS IN MARCH 2014
A film unraveling the life of the now famous Vivian Maier and John Maloof’s journey to piece together Maier’s past.
Finding Vivian Maier is the critically acclaimed documentary about a mysterious nanny, who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers and, discovered decades later, is now among the 20th century’s greatest photographers. Maier’s strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never before seen photographs, films, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her.

Pictured above, the Sakurajima volcano in southern Japan was caught erupting in early January. Magma bubbles so hot they glow shoot away as liquid rock bursts through the Earth’s surface from below. The above image is particularly notable, however, for the lightning bolts caught near the volcano’s summit. Why lightning occurs even in common thunderstorms remains a topic of research, and the cause of volcanic lightning is even less clear. Surely, lightning bolts help quench areas of opposite but separated electric charges. One hypothesis holds that catapulting magma bubbles or volcanic ash are themselves electrically charged, and by their motion create these separated areas. Other volcanic lightning episodes may be facilitated by charge-inducing collisions in volcanic dust. Lightning is usually occurring somewhere on Earth, typically over 40 times each second.

“Composite of two images taken at the same location and within three minutes of each other… Ya, it is sort of “fake” looking – but I hate to throw anything away.”
“My first major project was a documentation of 19th Century New York State Insane Asylums. The exhibit “Silent Voices” travelled for several years. The project was funded by The New York State Council on the Arts.”- Jon Crispin Asylums.
