if you don't know, now you know...

Danielle Levitt takes amazing photographs. Danielle Levitt tells amazing stories. Danielle Levitt has amazing hair.

All the rumors are true.



I went out to support the book launch at Deitch of this fantastically prolific and warm-hearted friend, whose work I've watched grow and grow and grow. Photographing american teenagers, she's given a stage and voice to them, shed light on all of their insecurities and strengths (and of course turned the mirror of memory on us), and ultimately has encouraged and revealed some of the most forcefully creative people of our society that are just trying to make their own way. It's an incredible gift to give to the world.

Props, snaps, hugs, cheers and all that shit.

Maybe you're asking, why blog so late? Well because 1) i'm forgetful like a goldfish, and 2) she just got written up for the NY Times style section and therefore reminded me that I did not properly laud her awesome achievements.
