Woodstock 1969, Collection of Aerial Images from Helicopter

As the only still photographer on the Academy Award winning Woodstock movie by Warner Bros., Barry Z Levine has more than 300 color slides from the 1969 Woodstock event. Some of the most awesome and iconic images are the aerials from a helicopter revealing the amazing 500,000-person crowd. The crowd was peaceful in spite of running out of food and water and depending on the "locals" to bring in sandwiches. For over 50 years, until the recent "Women's-Me Too" protest marches, it was the largest peaceful protest in history.

This lot consists of 19 slides (transparencies): the remaining 17 aerials taken at Woodstock by Barry Z Levine in 1969, plus 2 slides of the helicopter that enabled him to capture these historic images. Many of the images in this lot can be found throughout "The Woodstock Story Book."

Levine's images have been seen on billboards in Rome, illuminated over the Milan Soccer Stadium and on buses and streetcars in Bologna. His aerials are seen world-wide in TV series, film documentaries, books, photographic exhibits, museums, magazines, websites and on the walls of collectors as custom signed prints. They can be seen on Barry's website, www.WoodstockWitness.com under the title: "the crowd." The detail is amazing, you can see hamburgers on the grill and read the menu at the food stand.

To be on the film crew at Woodstock was an unplanned life experience for Barry Z Levine. The Academy Award winning documentary film "Woodstock" (1970) has been preserved by the Library of congress in the National Registry for being culturally, aesthetically, and/or historically significant. The film is the reason the event is known world-wide. They are featured in shows in London, Italy, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Chattanooga, New York, Stuart-Florida, San Francisco and other places, as well as in books, movies and TV media. You can see the images at www.Gettyimages.com. In addition to The Woodstock Story Book hardcover, his new books, in collaboration with his wife, Linanne Sackett, include the Woodstock Story eBook which celebrates the 50th Anniversary, allowing you to feel like you are virtually there and The Cameramen of Woodstock - a look behind the scenes of the Academy Award winning of the festival ng film WOODSTOCK on its 50th Anniversary.
