CONTEST WINNERS!

With over 30 FABULOUS entries, I didn't know how to pick the best one... I loved them all! SO, I turned to good friend and colleague Meera Raja to judge the entries anonymously, to pick the BEST, most creative and most summer-y response. She took the task very clearly: She didn't look at the blog at all for its 2-week duration, and then on Judgement Day, she took the sheet of anonymous entries into the other room so I couldn't influence her one way or another, and came back with such a PERFECT and well-thought out Top 3 choices that I just couldn't be happier. Thank you Meera, and thank you to everyone who supported ANAPHOTO by entering! [winners, email me!]

HUGS!!!!



Without Further Ado...

WINNING ENTRY: "I love watching summer thundershowers on my parents' screened in porch. The smell, the sound, and the cool air are always a great treat after sweltering temps. And when that one lightning bolt hits a little too close and sends everyone running into the house, it is a great laugh. Ah summer." -Katie Cameron

Second Place: "Another favorite summer pastime is enjoying steamers & great ale overlooking the ocean, watching sun rays bounce off boats..." -Deborah

Third Place: "My favorite summer past-time is picking fresh blackberries or raspberries, bringing them home warm from the sun, and making a cobbler." -Janis O'Driscoll

Winner gets three 8x10s, 2nd and 3rd place get one 8x10 print!

HERE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT SUMMER!

Check out my friend Rachael's new TV Show!

It's a behind-the-scenes look at event planning in NYC!

where else... but Lilly!

Where else might the well-heeled gather for an evening of gorgeous art in a sophisticated space? Lilly Pulitzer, of course! [Duh]

With many of the Upper East Side flagship store's walls stripped and reinvented as a gallery space, a great crowd enjoyed the work of underwater photographer extraordinaire Chris Leidy as he showcased his larger than life underwater masterpieces. Each sharper and more colorful than the next, the vibrant works complimented the Lilly-clad guests perfectly.

I was stoked to be a part of the event!
