Hi Sofia! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions! I am so glad we got to meet last year, during the Miami Street Photography Festival, where you were one of the speakers. Can you tell us a little more about who you are, where you are from and what you do? You’re welcome! I love your blog and I’m honored to be part of it. Miami was amazing and meeting you and Sonia was one of the best parts. I am originally from Madrid but now I live in Washington DC. I…
1) Thank you so much for being on the blog today Harvey! Please tell us a little bit about yourself. How and when did you start in photography?

Everyone got super excited about this, because the test will allow us to see if any of us have actually been exposed and developed antibodies to the virus. So far, none of my physician colleagues and mid-level providers have had symptoms of COVID and for that I am extremely grateful. But at…
Monday, March 9th, 2020 It’s hard to believe that just few days ago I came back from Cuba. The trip, as wonderful as it was, is suddenly feeling like a distant memory. As much as I’m trying to keep it cool and composed, there are moments when I get overcome with anxiety. The talk of the world is nothing but Corona. The number of COVID cases in the USA are rising and our conversations at work are becoming more and more about what to do when we get a surge of sick patients and how to preserve our…
