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 […]
A Show In Vermont
Tuesday, September 19th, 2017
The photo above, featuring four of my favorite models on the rocky coast of Maine, is in the current show, “Multiples,” at the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont. The artists reception for this show will be this Saturday, September 23. I plan to attend that reception. So, if you are in the Burlington area, […]
Ayn of Ties
Thursday, September 14th, 2017
Back when I still had my studio Ayn wanted to do a shoot with a bunch of ties. What Ayn wants, Ayn gets, as far as I’m concerned. So this is what we came up with. That’s right, folks, Ayn didn’t even get naked for this shoot. I hope you aren’t too disappointed. After we […]
Gallery Show
Saturday, September 9th, 2017
I’ve received word that this photograph of Rachel up in Maine has been chosen for the upcoming show at the South East Center for Photography in Greenville, South Carolina. The show theme is “The Intimate Portrait.” I’m particularly happy about this for a couple reasons. One is that I’ve been wanting to get my work in […]
More From the Desert
Sunday, July 30th, 2017
Near Salvation Mountain is a fairly strange community known as Slab City. And in Slab City is a fairly strange art community known as East Jesus. So, after visiting Salvation Mountain we headed on over to East Jesus and I couldn’t resist taking a few photos there.
