Mac Harden, Photographer

Mac is a senior photographer attending Carlsbad High School. When he is not rescuing puppies and kittens from fire hazards, he likes to spend his time offering his soft but muscular shoulder for catching the tears of the sorrowful. Mac is surrounded by loving characters who can’t resist from asking him to a slice of pizza after an evening of Monopoly games. His charm is felt from one end of the room to the other, and his memory will never be forgotten. Just like Kanye.
