Three Sisters at the Beach/Haddon Hall Hotel/Miami Beach, FL/ 2000, 20" x 24", unframed. 

Attracted to real people and the beauty in the everyday mundane, photographer Naomi Harris received the International Prize for Young Photojournalism for her project called “Haddon Hall Hotel," documenting the last remaining hotel in South Beach that allowed senior citizens to reside there. Harris decided to make herself familiar to the residents by living in the hotel, which she did for two months during the winter of 2000. By gaining trust and friendship, she was permitted into their guarded lives and was able to photograph and learn about these individuals. These images are a documentary of the hotel's last days as a place where seniors could live out their golden years.

Naomi has been published in the New York Times Magazine, as well as the London Sunday Times Magazine, The Telegraph Magazine, Marie Claire UK, and Newsweek.
