Jonathan Levitt (Part II)

After a few months of emailing back and forth, I asked Jonathan Levitt if he would write captions for a couple of my favorite photographs of his that I could post on Cold Splinters. The first installment, “Hedgelings and I Bothered By:," can be found here. The second installment in the series, "Ducktrapia," is above and can be seen much larger right here. Here's what I wrote the first time:Jonathan Levitt’s photos are of pet wolves and rural Maine, swimming in ice cold rivers and old Coleman stoves. It’s the morose side of being in the woods, the feeling that I most long for when I’m not camping. When you live in the city, that loneliness, even when felt in the company of loved ones, is the best part. Needless to say, I’ve been spending a lot of time on his photoblog, Grass Doe, over the last couple of months, admiring “Ducktrapia.” (From Jon: “Ducktrapia is a small settlement along the shores of the Ducktrap River in Ducktrap, Maine. For ten years, anthrophotographist Jonathan Levitt has been living among the Ducktrapians, documenting their way of life.”)
