About

Lisa Shaw

I am, among many other things, a reader, writer, editor, photographer, blogger, foodie, enthusiastic home cook, dog lover, and domestic engineer. I dote unapologetically on my miniature Schnauzer, take photographs with a Nikon (and increasingly, an iPhone), write with a fountain pen every chance I get, blog on both a Mac and a PC (but never both at the same time), and keep a really clean house. Anything else you might want to know about me can probably be found somewhere in one of my posts.

I started writing for publication as a contributor to my junior high school’s newsletter, where I learned to type on a Royal manual typewriter. My first 35mm camera was a Pentax K-1000, which is like the Model T of SLRs. I wrote and took photos for my high school newspaper and yearbook; was a photographer, writer, and copy editor for my college newspaper; majored in news-editorial journalism; and was a reporter and photographer on first a semi-weekly and then a daily newspaper for a couple of years. Every job I’ve ever held since has focused on written communication, and some of them even let me take pictures, too.
