All Seriousness Aside
Ron Levy has led a career of astonishing simplicity. Inspiration has come from diverse people: Dave Barry should be credited for Ron's plagiaristic tendencies; Arnold Newman, Franz Lanting, Ansel Adams and Eddie Adams should be blamed for his divergence from a successful 9-5 job into something less secure.
Relevance and Presidents
The relevance of Mr. Levy's life to everyday events is inversely related. A circular argument is the only explanation for the linear events in his life. The chronology of his development is difficult to fully assimilate, and his first book will someday be a prime example.
He has appeared on TV numerous times (usually a peripheral shot of him in the background). Audiences have marveled at his last 8x10 for more than necessary, and 4 Presidents have commented on national news how unconcerned they are with future events, stating that 'Four years is enough to worry about'.
Try to enjoy his work, and find solace
from the events in your life that brought you here. Think outside the box, and discover circles of confusion that provide insight into what makes someone like Mr. Levy produce work of this nature.
