| Description: |
I began to record a series of recorded oral history interviews with George Harvan in May 1997. I wanted to better understand his artistic evolution, and I sensed others would benefit from a fuller appreciation of his life story as well. We taped about seven hours of interviews in five sessions between May 1997 and January 1998. Initially George Harvan talked about his life and the experiences that shaped his emergence and development as a photographer. Later he focused on specific projects and reflected on what he had tried to do and what he thought he had accomplished over his extended career. |
