Michael Lavine Photographs

My name is Michael Lavine and I am a Portrait photographer living in NYC and in a nutshell, this is my story. I was born in California in 1963 and after bouncing around a bit, I landed in Denver, Colorado where I grew up as a relatively normal child with a hippy single mom in the seventies. I started making photographs at an early age and by high school I was the head yearbook photographer. When I was 18 yrs old, I bought a 1965 green Chevy Impala and drove to Washington State where I attended Evergreen State University and studied photography.
During 1983, using a 1958 Leica and tri-x, I made a series of photographs documenting a group of street punks hanging around the University District in Seattle. Abrams is slated to publish this body of work in Fall 09.
I moved to NYC in 1985 to attend Parsons school of Design and soon after I took an internship with the fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo. After convincing Scavullo to donate hundreds of used color seamless rolls left over from past Cosmo cover tries to the Parsons photo department, I started experimenting with extreme color studio photography including cross processing and lots of gels. I had some friends that were in bands and really, before I knew it and without much planning I became a Rock & Roll

Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town
Alan is a middle-aged entrepreneur in contemporary Toronto who has devoted himself to fixing up a house in the bohemian neighborhood of Kensington. This naturally brings him in contact with the house full of students and layabouts next door, including a young woman, who, in a moment of stress, reveals to him that she has wings, moreover, that grow back after each attempt to cut them off. Alan understands. He himself has a secret or two. His father is a mountain, his mother is a washing machine, and among his brothers is a set of Russian nesting dolls. Now two of the three nesting dolls, Edward and Frederick, are on his doorstep well on their way to starvation because their innermost member, George, has vanished. It appears that yet another brother, Davey, whom Alan and his other siblings killed years ago, may have returned….bent on revenge. Under such circumstances it seems only reasonable for Alan to involve himself with a visionary scheme to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet connectivity, a conspiracy spearheaded by a brilliant technopunk who build miracles of hardware scavenged from the city’s Dumpsters. But Alan’s past won’t leave him alone and Davey is only one of the powers gunning for him and all his friends.
