Christmas 2008

Maggie as Santa, Christmas, Danville,Virginia 1972 Emmett Gowin

I do not do Top Something lists. It is too difficult for me to impose a hierarchy and I invariably think of something I left off. That said Maggie by Emmet and Elijah with text by Edith Gowin tops my 2008 list of beautiful photography books with an image of Santa made by a family about family.

Merry Christmas. When next I write it will be with the wisdom of another year under my belt.

  1. I don't do these sorts of lists, either, but I agree: this is one wonderful book.

    I interviewed Elijah and wrote at length about Maggie and the act of self-publishing in my latest post: http://tinyurl.com/9qcpxw
