Fashionlines has been writing about the photographer Builder Levy for seven years. Not a "fashionable" artist, Levy's images invite us to experience real lives as real people live them, while at the same time enjoying the beauty of the photographic medium. Builder Levy's work combines social documentary and street photography with the elements of fine art. In these photographs we come face to face with perservering individuals in inner-city neighborhoods in New York City; in communities in the hills and "hollers" and inside the coal mines of Appalachia; on the central Asian steppe of Mongolia; in Cuba; and at street demonstrations in the 1960s and the new millennium. The book represents more than forty years of Builder Levy’s life’s work in photography.
