By Anna Sawin

I have been a dismal failure at food blogging of late—Fridays used to afford me a delicious chunk of time during naps, but that time seems to have evaporated in the last little while. I know you haven’t been pining away for my fantastic food posts, but I miss it, because I love food and…

The ones we’re NOT using in the Christmas card

By Anna Sawin

Photo day for Hank & Willie, and a friend. Weather was below freezing and children were miserable. Note chocolate-bar-as-bribe in my hand, bottom left. Note also that it is not having desired effect. So folks, it’s December. I have no idea how that happened, but here’s another bulletin—Christmas is THREE WEEKS from tomorrow. Never mind…

The one about Bronx Mowgli and Thanksgiving dessert

By Anna Sawin

I’ve spent the last two weeks communing with my computer, editing what I’m guessing is several thousand photos. I love this one, despite the obvious technical flaws. And I love that I can love such an imperfect photo. Not much else to report here except: 1. Still not sure what to make as a contribution…

By Anna Sawin

I’m always delighted to photograph Other People’s Kids, because mine? Well, it is a rare day I get more cooperation than this: Which is why I don’t take their Christmas photo. She does, thank goodness. But Other People’s Kids? Another story all together! My Best Shot? I can’t pick. You decide.
