Interview with pinhole photographer Edward Levinson

Pinhole Visions‘ Gregg Kemp interviews pinhole photographer Edward Levinson about Levinson’s new book, Timescapes Japan – A Pinhole Journey [book blogged previously]:

Gregg: Has the experience of preparing this book caused you to re-examine or take a fresh look at your work, or at your life in Japan?

Edward: That is an interesting question. In selecting the images for the book, one thing I noticed is that it was often the earlier images that seemed the freshest or at least seemed to have the most impact.
