Photo-documentary: Disappearing
Legacy: Old Barns of the West
Exhibits
& News of Note
As a professional photographer and writer, I relish the
challenge of ever-renewing discovery. Capturing the intensity of
river rafters wrestling with roaring Class IV rapids, telling
the stories of Appaloosa horse breeders,  or capturing history
before it slips away...is life.
That life includes keeping track of
what's vanishing before our midst. My ongoing historical photo-documentary,
Disappearing Legacy: Old Barns of the West, continues to
capture intimate images of magnificent, antique barns
-and the vanishing lifestyles they symbolize. Photographs and
stories from
Legacy
are featured in
Barn in the U.S.A. by Bob Crittendon. More will be included
in my own book, currently under construction, covering the West at the turn of the 21st
Century.
As an artist, I often stumble upon ironic juxtapositions, where joy- and its antonyms- often commingle.
It can be as simple as an early-morning walk on the beach or as
intricate as an insect's wing.
As a journalist,
I'm available for on-location photography and editorial packages
throughout the West, for magazines, newspapers and business.
Check out KenLevyMedia.com
for examples of my published works, and please contact me
for more details about my services.
I invite you to visit and bookmark my
growing gallery of stock images at
Photographer's Art Galleries. You'll find
land- and seascapes, unique images from Idaho, wildlife, animal
and insect
photographs, abstract images and more. New work appears
regularly.
