David Leveson taught geology for 47 years at Brooklyn College, CUNY. His book of essays and photographs, “A Sense of the Earth”, published by Natural History Press in 1971, was nominated for a National Book Award - Science Category. Other photographs are included in his book, “Geology and the Urban Environment”, published by Oxford University Press, in 1980.
Leveson studied photography with Albert Freed at the Educational Alliance in New York City, and Robert B. Cowan, whose works are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
Leveson’s early photographs were black and white darkroom prints and also color slides. For the last ten years he has worked with a digital camera. To obtain prints of earlier color slides, he has digitized the images. Both his digital photographs and digitized color slides have been manipulated using Adobe Photoshop.
Leveson participated in the Underground Film Movement of the 1960s, working with both 8mm and super8 film. He now works in the 8mm video medium.
Many of Leveson’s geologic photographs may be seen online at

where they are incorporated into an online geology course that he created at Brooklyn College.
