“…In this series photographed between 2015 and 2019, I have used a hybrid approach. I have a camera body, but no lens other than my eye. Using a pinhole mounted on a digital camera allows me the freedom to wander the streets, buildings, and parks without a tripod. The flexibility of using a high ISO when needed widens the range of what was previously possible to capture using film….”

“…When I first started using the three-hole “Pinhole Blender” camera it felt like a good tool for creating stories. Usually I search for three scenes or objects that somehow go together. I look for humor, irony, and social statements when combining the three images into one photograph…”

Comments about Timescapes Japan
[Introduction from an interview by Gregg Kemp, Jul 14, 2006]
"One of the first thoughts I had while viewing and reading Edward Levinson's new book "Timescapes Japan - A Pinhole Journey", was how much my own photography has been influenced by him. The influence isn't so much in the images themselves as it is in Ed's approach to pinhole photography. Whether it is the influence of Japanese culture or perhaps Ed's personal nature, his approach to his work is thoughtful and meditative. And his photographs of the last several years reflect those qualities of his style. This approach is also apparent in his sparse, but eloquent writing that accompanies the book. This book is a collection of images you will want to return to often."

Short review from AlternativePhotography.com
Timescapes Japan, A Pinhole Journey by Edward Levinson is a wonderful journey of both photography and a country.
Coming home a little stressed from work and finding the book sitting outside my door, I immediately sat down and started leafing through the book at “work pace”.
I was expecting an essay form and was rather surprised finding there was only a short introduction, in both English and Japanese – all the credits are at the back of the book where the images are described in great detail. At first, I was flipping the pages back and forth, but soon found the images told me enough of a story.
After only a few pages the beautiful tranquil black & white pinhole images started drawing me in, the frantic pace of the turning pages slowed down and by the end of the book I felt as though I had travelled to Japan. It was a very relaxing trip, and…
“…I warmly recommend it to everyone.” Malin Fabbri, founder AlternativePhotography.com
"Timescapes Japan, A pinhole Journey, will take all viewers on a journey that will change their lives for ever. The hidden healing power inside the images, will gently open the hearts of all people. Not any words, neither any comments, will be able to express the beauty, the magic touch of love and the soul power of the work realized by Edward Levinson."
- Fran De Frangh (Belgium)
Review of "Timescapes Japan": "Edward, I have owned your book for two years and I come back to it many times. This book is visual poetry. A beauty and subtlety from within is covers will be appreciated by paging slowly and on occasion when your mind wants to absorb such poetry. Thank you for this volume." - Collin J. Orthner (Canada)
