The name's Harris. Harris from Paris. I've been photographing, writing, and telling stories since I can remember.
I have lived and worked all over the world while based in Paris, Tokyo, and Dubai. I am fluent in French and speak Japanese. My photo/text feature stories are internationally syndicated and at one time or another has been published by every major newspaper and magazine in the world.
Most recently, I have relocated to the charming countryside in South Carolina where I am very active in local politics using my photo, writing, and video skills to help candidates win elections and support freedom of speech issues.
I bought a fabulous historic home with tall and wide shade trees in the backyard and still have plenty of hot and humid sunshine for my Seneca roses to flourish and the herb garden to grow enough basil to serve pesto for four every weekend throughout the summer.
Places Been. People Met.
