His photographs of Cuba, New Mexico, Alaska, and the American South have been published and exhibited widely but this is the first time we are getting a focused look at the pictures he made of his own family over the years.

Eliza Harris is an editor and illustrator from Durham. Her interviews with poets and comic artists can be found in Catapult Magazine. Her art has been published in Catapult, Passages North, HAD, and elsewhere.
