Scenes from Halloween (and a 50 mm 1.2)

By Anna Sawin

A trip to the apple orchard this morning and a midday snack (mysteriously delivered to our doorstep by one of our favorite ghouls) made for great subject material while I was experimenting with the Canon 50 mm 1.2 today–the most delicious of all lenses. Yum. This lens is NUTS. Almost as delicious as the candy…

By Anna Sawin

How can you not love this many red roses, especially on a rainy day? This gray wedding day by the sea in Stonington, CT turned out to be lovely and bright in all the right ways. We didn’t even need the umbrellas. Happy love, Vikki & Tim, and thanks for a great day!

Falling for fall

Fall seems to have arrived, what with the crisp, clear mornings, cool nights and glorious, warm sunny days.
