This photo of Ted almost　became a cover of Transworld Skateboarding Japan.

Ted wrote about this spot on his blog a while ago.

She is one of my favorite photographer and inspire me a lot.
and still I can learn a lot from her works.

As Adam Gopnik remarked in his 2001 New Yorker feature on the artist, “Levitt’s photographs, like her city, though occasionally they rise to beauty, are mostly too quick for it. Instead, they have the quality of frozen street-corner conversation: she went out, saw something wonderful, came home to tell you all about it, and then, frustrated said, ‘You had to be there,’ and you realize, looking at the picture, that you were.”
