While living in Russia, I went with my good friend to visit her family's dacha, her country house. Her grandmother, 83 years old and so stooped she walks with a cane, still bakes pierogi there in the traditional stone oven as Russians have for generations. She was surprised and delighted that I wanted to take her picture with her creations - which were truly delicious.

    Awe, this is such a wonderful capture! You've got this ladt in HER element - the bread, the apron, the necklaces, there's so much character in this shot. Love it! (The yellow bag is kind of an eyesore.) Otherwise, great shot!

    This is classic. It belongs in National Geographic.
