Ephemeral Americana preserved in Southwest granules.

In a world of endless digital snapshots, film remains rare — each frame intentional, patient, and alive. Through analog I honor fleeting light, desert horizons, and the fragile beauty of Americana across the Southwest — your beloved preserved in timeless tones.

Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart.

A little about me


01.


Hi, I’m Levi!


I was born in Arizona, and this desert has always been home. From red rock canyons to quiet rivers and mountain trails, I’ve spent my life exploring every corner I could reach. These landscapes have shaped not only how I see the world, but how I tell its stories through my photographs.

Relationship to nature


My relationship to nature has always been one of kinship. From an early age the desert became my teacher — in its canyons, rivers, and mountains I learned resilience, patience, and awe. I grew up hiking, camping, and taking road trips, which showed me that adventure is one of the most intimate ways we reconnect our souls to the land.

Why Photography?


I got into photography because of my dad. He was the one who first put a camera in my hands when I was a kid. After he passed, I kept his camera, and it became a way to hold onto him and the lessons he and my brother gave me about storytelling. Ever since, photography has been my way of keeping memories alive — both mine and yours.

An Interesting Fact


I earned my B.S. in Sustainability from Arizona State University, and one of my proudest moments was seeing my research shared at the United Nations. For me, it was a reminder that the earth’s stories deserve to be told with honesty and compassion — not just in policy and science, but in every image and act of remembrance.
