WHO? I’m B Jane Levine and I live in the northeast of the United States. I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey, a short bus ride from New York City.

I left research behind in order to give more attention to the needs of my family and after a few years and some personal hardships, I took an interest in photography and began taking classes at International Center of Photography.
