Wandering Around With Gina
Monday, January 22nd, 2018
After shooting in the studio for a while, Gina and I went wandering around the Front Street Buildings, always a rich environment for photo backgrounds. The sunny day provided some opportunities to play with light and shadow…not to mention color. Mike Elsass’s studio on the floor above my studio has lots of interesting things to […]
Fun With Gina
Thursday, January 18th, 2018
Every once in a while I get together with my old friend Gina and then something good always happens. We did these photos a while back. I’m so slow with my editing that I’m just getting to them. Give Gina a prop and she’ll make something happen with it, as you can see in these shots from […]
Instant Theda From the Past
Friday, January 5th, 2018
I guess I’m a little late getting started on the new year on the blog. I’m posting a lot on MeWe, so you might want to look over there for more frequent photos. mewe.com/i/dave.levingston But, I made a discovery a few days ago. I had scanned a bunch of instant prints and then mis-filed them and […]

More Liv
Tuesday, December 26th, 2017
Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. The holidays have been busy this year. I do post almost daily on MeWe. If you haven’t checked it out, you should. There’s quite a good community there and it is growing every day. You can find me here: mewe.com/i/dave.levingston But, today, here are a few more […]
More Instant Liv
Monday, November 20th, 2017
Some more instant photos of Liv Sage in my studio. These were shot on Fuji Instax Mini film using a Lomo camera that I hate with a passion. This camera is very hard to control. All the controls on it are marked with single-letter abbreviations for the name of the control…but the names aren’t the […]
Instant Liv
Thursday, November 16th, 2017
Here are a few quick edits of some photos I did with Liv Sage using some of my stash of Fuji 3000 speed instant peel-apart film. They were shot with my old Speed Graphic camera. These days people seem to think the flaws in this material are interesting, so I decided to leave them in for […]
Shooting a Friend
Monday, November 6th, 2017
Just some photos from my second shoot with a photographer friend who agreed to spend a little time in front of my camera. After doing some portraits with studio lighting we played around a little by doing some exteriors of the studio building with her in the window. The top two were taken after dark […]
Back to the Studio
Friday, October 20th, 2017
Getting back to trying to catch up on my editing. Well, it was more than a year ago when I moved out of my studio in the Front Street Buildings in Dayton. I had a studio in that complex for something like 15 years…maybe more, I forget. During that time I had accumulated a lot […]
Ayn In An Instant
Monday, October 16th, 2017
I did a shoot last week to work more seriously with my new “Frankencamera” that shoots Fuji Mini film, but has a proper, sharp lens that can be focused manually and that give me total manual control of the exposure. Another thing I wanted to explore more is the new black and white […]
