Jewish Faces of Russia

A Photography Exhibition by Keith Levit

"I'm very selective about whom I photograph - this woman had immediate appeal to me as a photographer. She was poor, but her face didn't say 'give me charity' - it said 'we're in this together.' She was calm, dignified, and very curious about my camera. We talked and talked until I got the look I wanted to photograph, just as she was leaving the soup kitchen."
