Hi I'm Harrison Allen Barden and I'm SO excited to be working under Madisen and Natalie on the photo crew this year on Echo!! In my free time I run a blog which compares dogs in halloween costumes to myself wearing the same Halloween costume. My life goal is to start my own line of custom cummerbunds in a store I will name "Harrison's Haberdashery" because I have a passion for men's style and alliteration. If you see my camera and I, say hello, you might even make it in my blog!!! Thanks for reading, folks.
