Finding Vivian Maier

This is a film that I've been wanting to see since Vivian Maier's collection of work was first discovered.  It's film is premiering at DOC NYC on November 17 and I'm hoping it'll make it's way out to the west coast shortly after since I don't think I'll be in New York this year.  If you haven't heard of Vivian Maier then I strongly encourage you to watch the trailer. 

A mysterious nanny, who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that were hidden in storage lockers and discovered decades later, is now considered 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.

Photographer Spotlight - Brian Lima

Photographer Spotlight - 09.03.2013

Brian Lima is a good friend of mine and one of the photographers whose work first inspired me to really start pursuing photography.  I met Brian sometime around 2003 in San Diego when he was photographing my band, he's now based out of Rhode Island.  He has a great repertoire of work ranging from amazing concert photography to beautiful landscape images of New Zealand and incredible shots of the Dalai Lama during a once in a lifetime opportunity to follow him around during his most recent visit to the US.  His music portfolio includes awesome shots of Bjork, Iggy Pop, U2, Coldplay, Jane's Addiction, Greg Laswell, Radiohead, and so many other great bands and musicians.  I hope to one day be half the photographer Brian is.  He is also one of the primary reasons I shoot on Nikon cameras, you tend to mimic your inspirations and I've been a big fan of Nikon gear ever since.
