The following is just a portion of my bio that can be found on my website......... Russell Levin (1954-)born and raised in California, became involved in photography at a very early age. Learning photography from his father, he developed and printed his first roll of film by the age of ten. His education was furthered when at the age of 14 he spent a year in Mexico with his father in 1968/69. His father was a guest teacher at the Art Institute in San Miguel de Allende. Russell spent time photographing the bullfights, and quickly developed a passion for photographing people and action images.

In high school Russell worked for the school newspaper/yearbook in addition to shooting sports for the local newspaper. Within a short time, Russell was receiving assignments from the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury and local newspapers. Before turning twenty, he had over 1000 photographs published in newspapers throughout the state......Read the complete bio is on my website.

It's now proven that photographs made using the newer "HD" inks (that I use) along with the factory finer papers will last over 100 years, some are now saying 200-500 years!

*What is an Archival Pigment Print? Archival pigment printing denotes a printmaking process incorporating refined particles of pigment that are resilient to the environmental elements that commonly degrade and erode dye molecules shortening the life of a print. The use of pigmented inks for the purpose of archival printing is ideal as they can have a storage life up to, and beyond, 200 years; when stored in a museum-quality frame under ideal conditions and lighting. This allows for superb print life for photographers and artists to either store, or sell, their work; and they are able to promise that the buyer will never again have a complaint that the image has soured.
