it’s here!

The 200th post!  (The second 100 took less than half the time of the first hundred, so I guess I’m doing better now.)

OK – for the giveaway … there are two choices - the winner can choose all three Taschen style books below … Bahia Style, Provence Style and Greece Style.  There are gorgeous photographs of gorgeous places in all three of these books, and they are constantly out in my house.   You all know by now how much I love to travel, and how much I love Greece and France especially.  So I hope you’ll like these as much as I do. 

 

The second option is the Dawn of the Color Photograph, pictured below.  I just got this book for Mothers Day and love it so much already.  If you didn’t know the back story, when color photography first came out, Albert Kahn financed thousands of photographers to travel all over the world and photograph its people.  He thought that if people could see other cultures around the world, there would be more peace and understanding.  The resulting photographs are stored in a museum in France, and many are reproduced here.  Absolutely captivating for anyone who loves photography and history. 

So those are the choices. I hope you like them.

Here’s how to enter.  Leave a comment on this post by Friday letting me know which of the two options you would pick.  Tell me if you are a follower, and you will get another entry.  And if you feel like blogging about it, let me know that you posted about it and that will be another entry.   A winner will be selected at random.  

Since we’re at post 200, thanks to each of you for stopping by here, and especially for all your kind words and support.  You really are the best!

And a little grandma update – she is still in the hospital but doing well.  Thanks to all who left a kind comment!

Best,

Stephanie

UPDATE:  Just to avoid any confusion – Choice 1 is ALL THREE of the style books, and Choice 2 is the Dawn of Photography Book!  Good luck!
