It is with deep sadness that I share with you that we have lost another talented artist among us, Leor Levine was a friend and member of many of our online FB groups and was known on Instagram as mastaprint8. There’s a reason for that, Levine was a masterprinter by vocation. As his dear friend Masha Mitkov expressed ‘[he] shied away from shameless self promotion in favor of technical mastery and artistic perfection. With him dies an encyclopedia of knowledge many of his students have tried to osmote. You could ask him any question about the darkroom, give him any film (shot at any speed), any developer (at any dilution),…
