My friend, pro model/actress/photographer Kathryn @kathrynbrolin, takes a break from her own photo shoot recently in Havana to be in one of my photographs. Kathryn is serious about producing her own book of photographs. I’m helping her to think photo book, and at the same time she’s now a character in my BeachGames zine to be produced this year. Most of us have a few rough edges in life. So it’s such a luxury when everything simply flows.

I’m guessing that everyone in this audience feels they spend half their life on the computer and the phone. I know I do, and I’m traveling around shooting all the time. 90% of my computer time is spent looking at pictures, yet still I must force myself to walk away and get on my bike or take a hike. My relationships are often on Skype or FaceTime as well, so about a year ago I started shooting my screens. Portraits. The subject controls the camera of course, so my only job is to coax a bit. My good nephew Seth, and his bride of one year Ahlam, have been subjects of my IG stream many times. Now, as of 4 days ago, along comes little Owen Alan Harvey born at home in Beverly, Mass, with the aid of two midwives and a tub of warm water. Sounds perfect to me. Owen is the first boy in our family for 35 years. That last boy was Seth, now a pro pilot. Seems not so long ago I was looking at Seth as an infant. So life moves too damned fast and I must capture it as I can. Screenshots are better than no shots. Welcome Owen to your Harvey clan heritage where the only rule is to just be who you are! I have no doubt that with parents like Ahlam and Seth you will be all that you can be. 🎈
