February 2013: Ten on Ten (Blizzard Edition)
This month’s ten on ten is miraculously brought to you by the return of the Internet, despite acres of snow and 38% of my town still without power. Blizzard Charlotte and her friend Nemo (or whatever this mess was called) came a knocking and delivered what appears to be about 21″ of snow to our…
Read More12 Days of Joy: The Grand Prize Winner (and a few other thoughts)
Hug someone you love. Well. Back on December 7 when I started a simple little holiday contest, the 12 Days of Joy, the world seemed like a different place. Despite grownup problems—the aftermath of Sandy, fiscal cliffs and hundreds of other stories in the news—it was still a world in which where first-graders, despite those…
Read MoreDays 10 &11, in which we announce FOUR winners!
With just a few days left in the 12 Days of Joy, I’m very excited to introduce the prizes for days 10 and 11–a seat in one of three photography classes I’ll be holding this winter. Of course, if I’ve drawn the names of someone who would rather have someone else take the photos, you…
Read MoreDays 8 & 9: 12 Days of Joy
Oh Comcast. I think you might need a little coal in your stocking this year. I had an extremely long and not altogether fruitful private service call today, and I did resist the temptation to say “that’s what she said” during the whole thing, though, readers, I tell you–I had AMPLE opportunity to bring out…
Read MoreDecember 2012: Ten on Ten
I love this ten on ten project–-a passionate group of lovely and amazing photographers f taking ten images, one hour apart on one day out of the month, documenting life as it happens around them. On the tenth of every month, we post our ten images, and if you follow our links, you’ll make it…
Read MoreDay 6 and 7: The Twelve Days of Joy!
Well, due to a little Internet snafu yesterday, I couldn’t post yeaterday’s winner, so you get TWO today, one for yesterday and one for today. And for both, the prize is simple and elegant: a signature matted print. These prints are not your average enlargement, but instead are printed on 100% cotton Hahnemuehle fine art…
Read MoreDay 5 of the 12 Days of Joy: A Square Portrait Album!
It’s the annual kick off of Christmas in our town this evening–the Stonington Stroll–and we’re just back from an evening of tree-lighting-no-dinner-just-cookies-and-hot-cocoa-and-caroling-and-fun. So I’m a little late on posting today’s winner, but guess what–she already knows who she is, because I saw her out on the town this evening! So, Laurie Wilkinson, you are the…
Read MoreDay 4 of the 12 Days of Joy: A Canvas Wrap!
Canvas wraps have been one of our most popular items this year, second only to the matted signature print, but more about those tomorrow! Families and wedding couples have been choosing them all year, and our most popular size is the 16×24–large enough to enjoy, but not so big that you can only hang it…
Read MoreKerry + Rob: Married in Stonington!
The NYC couple who finds any reason (a Monday morning breakfast meeting with their photographer? Sure!) to leave the city and come to my beloved piece of the Connecticut shoreline is obviously a perfect fit for me–I’ve loved getting to know Kerry and Rob through their visits and our sessions, and I know I will…
Read MoreDay 3: 12 Days of Joy–a mini-session!
After a successful viewing of the Grinch this evening with my own little whos, I’d say it’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas around here. How about for you? Today’s prize is a another good one–a mini-session, valued at $150! Mini-sessions are 20 minute sessions that net you a gallery of 8-12 images–a perfect…
