Introduced by Jeff L. Rosenheim (Curator of Photographs at MoMA, New York) and Jem Cohen, who recorded the interview with Levinstein, the interview gives a great insight into Levinstein's personality and work. Cohen described Levisntein by saying: 'he was very unpretentious, deeply down to earth, and quite a loner. And this all fed into his work.'
I highly recommend taking the time to listen to this ten minute interview with a very talented and creative person that saw the world through an artist's eyes: 'a good photograph will prove to the viewer how little our eyes permit us to see. Most people, really, don’t see - see only what they have always seen and what they expect to see - where a photographer, if he’s good, will see everything. And better if he sees things he doesn’t expect to see.'
