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.

      My ongoing historical photo-documentary, Disappearing Legacy: Old Barns of the West, continues to grow with new, intimate images of magnificent, antique and vanishing barns-and the 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, covering the West at the turn of the 21st Century.
       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 details about my photographic and editorial services. Contact me regarding availability, references and rates.

       I invite you to visit and bookmark my growing gallery of stock images at Photographer's Art Galleries. You'll find breathtaking landscapes, unique images from Idaho, wildlife and animal photographs, abstract images and more. New work appears regularly.
