Photograph Print is 12 x 9 inches, Frame is approximately 19.5 x 15 inches. Statement: "My mission is to capture the vitality of human experience and to present it on paper in a visually compelling manner. I work with daily life, ritual and celebration within which I look for moments of insight. From Coney Island, to New Orleans, Cuba, Haiti, Colombia and India I use my camera as a tool for understanding and mutual respect between cultures!" Andy Levin is a photographer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Born on 9.26.50 in New York City, Levin was a Contributing Photographer at Life Magazine in the 80’s while living in New York City. His work appeared in Time, People, National Geographic, GEO, Stern. Paris Match, Newsweek, US News and World Report, New York Magazine, the Village Voice, Readers Digest, Sports Illustrated, Fortune, Business Week, Forbes, Graphis, Jazz News, Next American City and the New York Times Magazine, as well as the cover of Popular Photography. His seminal work on Coney Island was recently featured in the New York Times photography blog “Lens.” Andy transplanted to New Orleans in 2004, three years after 9.11 and a year before the levees failed during Hurricane Katrina devastating the city. His images of the hurricane and its aftermath are in the permanent collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art. In 2006 Levin was a finalist in the W. Eugene Smith Grant competition for a project on life at the edge of the world’s oceans. Levin’s 100Eyes photography workshops have attracted students from all over the world to New Orleans and to Haiti.
