Miami Beach. Liaryz Ramos with her Instax. You’ve seen Liaryz in quite a few of my photos the last two weeks. We met on my Puerto Rico project where she was a model only . I had no clue she was a budding photographer. She joined me here in Miami as a digi and shooting assist. So she ends up hanging with the @magnumphotos crowd which is a tough nut to crack. Yet she did it and was especially embraced by our new young women photographers Newsha Tavakolian and Carloyn Drake. Overall the Magnum reunion at our annual hang out time was the big warm. Every time I hang with my Magnum colleagues I am keen to notice the extreme individualism expressed by each member . No two even close to being a clone of the other. Yet a group . Of individuals . For 70 years. Long overdue to fade away. But it won’t happen. New blood generates energy and older blood sets a bar. It works. Every real photographer reading this can at least learn something by studying Magnum. Thanks Liayrz for your incredibly powerful energy. Safe travels home mi amiga. #miami #beachgames #iphone #instax
