Barry Z Levine's photographs have been included in several US and European television documentaries and books celebrating the 2009 anniversary including Woodstock: Three Days That Rocked the World as well as the re-release of the Academy Award-winning film, Woodstock. His photos are included in several collectible editions including Woodstock Remembered and Woodstock 69: The First Festival. His photographs have been featured in books and on album covers, in international newspapers and magazines, on postage stamps, and have been on international tour of museums and art galleries. In addition to photography, Levine has worked as a writer/producer in advertising and film, video, and theatrical production and was the director of a video production studio in New York City. He has been a long-time independent political activist, and is one of the founders of The All-Stars Project, one of the largest and most successful anti-violence programs for urban youth. Linanne Sackett is a former cowpuncher, beauty queen, drag race champion, early childhood educator, and college VP. She was working with Head Start parents in the inner city in the summer of 1969. After meeting Levine on line, she created their website, and collaborated with him on their first book. She is anything but an ordinary woman, and still likes to put the pedal to the metal.
A Wonderful Woodstock Remembrance Stunning photos and a great narrative makes this book a must have for anyone who was at Woodstock, wish they had been, or for anyone wanting a great history lesson and a piece of the 60's. Rare photos of the musicians, the people, and the landscape from the perspective and lens of a festival insider is a great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary and the spirit of Woodstock. --By Eric B.
