”Each photograph we take has a story. A photograph can tell what can’t be put into words.”
Howard Harper and his wife Maggie Lusk have spent countless days and many miles traveling Arkansas recording the state’s natural beauty and wildlife, and discovering its history. They produce images as photographs, note cards, and bookmarks.
Natural settings are of particular interest and their photos illustrate the architecture of the state in its various forms. Wildlife and nature shots capture rare moments with exquisite detail and rich color. And, while Arkansas is a special focus of their efforts, wherever they travel, cameras are always in hand to catch that perfect shot.
Maggie’s became serious about photography in the mid-1980s, but Howard’s interest started much earlier. “I was going through some old photos my father had taken and one of them was of the old ‘Morning Call’ coffee shop in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I turned it over and much to my surprise my father had written on the back: November 12, 1942, I held Howard on my shoulders and he took this photo. I was almost 6 years old. This photo made me realize how much I enjoyed photography.”
