"I
first
became
aware
of
Michael
Levin's
photographs
in
2010.
His
photographs
of
everyday
places
and
common
subjects
are
transformed
into
something
much
more
when
he
views
them
through
his
lens...absolutely
stunning!
Being
that
a
large
majority
of
Michael's
work
is
done
in
Japan,
I
instantly
had
a
connection
to
it
as
I
too
have
a
bond
with
Japan
and
have
traveled
and
documented
the
landscape
extensively
in
my
own
way.
After
watching
my
film
Hayaku
(vimeo.com/12112529)
Michael
contacted
me
regarding
a
project
he
was
working
on
and
felt
it
might
be
of
interest
to
me.
He
told
me
that
he
really
appreciated
my
work
and
recognized
the
dedication
and
effort
that
went
into
it.
I
agreed
to
go
on
a
trip
with
him
to
Japan
and
work
on
his
project.
But
for
me,
there
was
a
greater
opportunity
at
hand.
We
had
several
conversations
and
I
gave
him
some
ideas
about
expanding
the
project
and
he
really
took
to
it.
A
month
later
and
we
were
in
Japan
having
beers
and
sushi.
I
wanted
to
document
Michael
at
work,
in
Japan,
in
a
way
that
hasn't
really
been
explored
with
photographers.
I
told
Michael
of
my
idea
to
make
an
artistic
representation
of
his
experiences
in
the
Land
of
the
Rising
Sun
-
to
show
him
in
his
working
environment
in
a
way
that
complimented
his
work.
Not
to
explain
it
with
words,
but
to
feel
it
through
the
flow
of
the
film.
I
wanted
to
show
the
process,
the
journey,
the
adventure
in
a
way
that
would
give
the
viewer
and
emotional
connection
to
Michael
and
his
photography.
The
final
result
is
something
that
I
think
is
truly
original…something
that
showcases
who
Michael
is,
and
more
importantly,
what
his
work
is
all
about.
This
film
is
a
collaboration
between
Michael
and
I
and
our
love
for
photography,
film,
Japan
and
adventure.
This
is
a
subject
that
Michael
and
I
are
continuing
to
explore
as
we
plan
more
trips
together,
more
films
and
more
adventures.
I
hope
you
enjoy!"
