Part III — Concluding our Conversation with Alex Harris.
We are delighted to share the concluding portions of our conversation with Alex Harris, “Life And Photography 1973-1978 Amongst The Inuit And Yupik, Innovators in Remote Lands”.
Alex was 22 when he first traveled to Inuit and Yupik lands, commissioned to take photographs to accompany the writings of distinguished child psychiatrist Dr. Robert Coles who was studying life in some of the oldest communities on the North American continent.
What began for Alex as a brief foray, became an extended stay as a guest and a friend of peoples living in these remote villages.
