Welcome to Blogs of Photogs! Blogs of Photogs is owned by Mary Hanson, of Mary Hanson Photography. I welcome readers and other photographers to submit their blog, or blogs they admire, to be reviewed. There is a long list, and it takes a tremendous amount of time to visit, read, and review so many great (or not-so-great) photography blogs. If you have emailed rest assured you are in the list. Some keys to getting reviewed are: updating your blog often, having beautiful photography, writing more than just a two word description about your photos, having the "bugs" worked out of your blog (links that are broken or images that don't load are too frustrating to send hundreds of readers to visit...) and a sense of humor helps too. :) Thanks for enjoying my project!

Also, I encourage you to visit and support our sponsors of the blog, as they help pay for the costs and upkeep of the site, and are great vendors! Email if you are interested in becoming a sponsor. Opportunities are limited within similar categories.

Great New Book ~Mothers & Children

I love this new book from National Geographic; Mothers & Children. If my mom were still alive, I’d *so* be getting her this for Mother’s Day. Its a charming little hardcover filled with engaging images of mothers and their children from all around the world and also has perfectly fitting and thoughtful quotes and writings about motherhood. This quote from the inside flap really struck me:

“North to South. East to west. You can see it in every photo on every page of Mothers and Children. “Mom” in any language, in every place, means the same: I am here. You are safe. You are loved.”

Isn’t that so true? Enjoy!
