Norah Levine Photography

I'm excited to share the work of Norah Levine, photographer extraordinaire. As always, in the process of interviewing someone for a StoryPortrait project, I acquire a deeper understanding of their personal history and in this case professional motivation and passion. Norah captures images of children, families and furry four-legged friends with humor, incredible skill and grace, color and design. As a photographer, I'm honored to know her and am truly inspired by her integrity and work. Please watch Norah's ArtistPortrait and visit her website to see more of her stunning photography: Norah Levine Photography

Santa Fe Living Treasures

Santa Fe Living Treasures, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3), publicly honors elders who have generously served the Santa Fe community with kind hears and good deeds. Their oral histories and photographs are recorded, archived, and made available to the public at teh Fray Angélico Chávez History Library, Santa Fe, NM.

Recently, I was honored to join the committee as the new Living Treasures photographer! Consequently, I had the great pleasure of photographing Ramon Montes, Barbara Hooton and Saul Cohen for the upcoming ceremony.

Falling To Grace

Watching actors, directors, producers and crew work together to make a story come to life on the screen is simply marvelous. It's poetry, persistence, vision and devotion. On March 29th, I had the opportunity to work as set photographer for a production of a story by Director and Writer David Floeter of Breathing Media. Falling to Grace is the story of three childhood friends who grew up in the 60's. Thirty-five years later they reunite and are forced to question their values, individual journeys and friendship. It's the story of every generation told through the lens of the 60's generation. The trailer was filmed in Santa Fe, NM and soon the film will be in full production.
