Stu Levy

Welcome to Season 2 of the Diffusion Tapes. In our fifth episode, we hear exciting and history-making photography stories from Stu Levy.

Dr. Stu Levy lives in Portland, Oregon. He studied with Ansel Adams, and was an instructor at the Ansel Adams Gallery Workshops, and leads photography workshops on the Oregon Coast. He has several books, works in many collections, and is a Portland icon. He’s currently heavily involved with Portland Art Museum’s photography council and he’s on the Photolucida board of directors. 

In our Tape with Stu he talks about his extensive history in photography, music, and even healthcare. Stu’s wealth of knowledge in regard to photo history is amazing and very inspirational. We could listen and learn for hours, which is why we invited him to the Diffusion Tapes! 

Recorded Dec 8, 2022. These are the Diffusion Tapes...
