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
grow with intimate images of magnificent, antique barns
-and the vanishing lifestyles they symbolize.
Many photographs and
stories from
Legacy
are featured in
Barn in the U.S.A. by Bob Crittendon.
Legacy has been in the Top Five "Barn Photographs" web sites
on Google and Yahoo! since 1998.
As a journalist,
I specialize in 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. Be sure to visit our Collectors Editions page of
our most popular images.
New work appears
regularly.
