Also in the current issue, a small-world coincidence. To illustrate a story on one couple’s homebirth, I wanted to use a series of images photographer Allison Kuznia initially submitted months ago as a pitch for a yet-to-be-written photo essay. I asked her if we could use her photos with this other article instead, and sent her the text. She wrote back excitedly to say that Gail Tully, the expert on spinning babies mentioned in the article, was actually the midwife in her photos. (I had had no idea where Allison lived—let alone that she was in the same town as the family featured in the story! )
