More Dance from the Past
Thursday, November 8th, 2007
Here’s another of my old dance photos. This is from a concert at Ohio University in 1975. The dancers are Lisa Eck and David Novitz. I’m afraid I don’t have a record of who was the choreographer for this piece. Ohio University School of Dance faculty members Gladys Bailin, Les Ditson and Pat Welling were […]
Shakers
Monday, November 5th, 2007
I’ve done some digging around in the attic and found some of my old dance photos. These are from the dance, “Shakers” by Doris Humphrey. Doris Humphrey died in 1958, but this dance was performed at Ohio University in 1970 thanks to a system of writing down, or scoring, a dance that was used to […]
All My Life’s A Circle
Friday, November 2nd, 2007
Almost 40 years ago when I was a clueless 17 year old photographer I walked in to the dance department at Ohio University looking for something to photograph. I had never seen anything like modern dance before. It wasn’t something I was likely to encounter in the small town where I grew up and it […]
Boo!
Saturday, October 27th, 2007
It’s trick or treat night here, so here’s an oldie Halloween photo for you…Halloween Eve. The weather isn’t looking too good for tonight. We live in the middle of the city, but we can never know how many trick or treaters will show up on any given year. We’ve had hundreds and there was one […]
Vassanta’s Pick
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007
I’ve mentioned before that I consider my models to be co-creators of our photos. I always give my models all the photos we do together on a disk in full resolution. I’ll also photoshop their favorites for them if they don’t want to do that work, or are not skilled at photoshop. I often hear […]
Wood Nymphs
Friday, October 19th, 2007
I’m just back from a quick trip to West By God Virginia to do this photo. My friend, Ralph Barker, stopped by for a visit this summer on his way to West Virginia to do some photography. When he posted a photo of this waterfall that he had shot I had to ask where it […]
Simply Vassanta
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007
Here’s another photo of Vassanta for you. I’ve spent some time today editing my last shoot with this beautiful model and it looks like I’ll be posting more of her over the next few weeks. I like this shot because it shows her lovely figure in nice light, but also because of the strange and […]
French Feature and an Anniversary
Saturday, October 13th, 2007
A French web magazine has done a feature on my work. You can read it here: http://universdartistes.blogspot.com/2007/10/dave-levingston.html I’m also doing an interview with them, so maybe there will be a second story sometime soon. Also, I just noticed that about the time I was dealing with the death of our friend this blog passed its […]
Vassanta
Saturday, October 13th, 2007
From warmer days, here’s a shot I did with Vassanta http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=209943 under a bridge in a little town north of Columbus. The light and backgrounds under bridges are often very nice. And, even in busy places, people seldom look under bridges, so it’s possible to shoot nudes, even with busy traffic going overhead. There’s more […]
It’s Getting Cold Outside
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007
Time to start putting coats on the nude models. You all know how careful I am to make sure my models never get cold. This is Gaea from a quick shoot at my studio yesterday. http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=220390
