I love to read books! I love to hold them..flick through them...delve deeper into their pages..I love the new out of the wrapper smell or the old musky schoolbook smell...I love to slide under the covers at night with a good book and lose myself in it....get lost in a good book while stuck on a train..bus...waiting room...
I love all kinds of book...factual...historical..novel...textual. ..graphical...it matters not. I love to spend hours in a bookstore and get lost amongst it's shelves..fingers lightly brushing over the spines of books...or taking one from the shelf and seeing what delights it's pages may hold.
and I love to buy books on whatever subject interests me at any time. I love my collection of Photography books...they are a constant source of inspiration...when I leaf through the pages of a book on some of my favourite photographers I can only hope that someday I might get even close to the artistic and technical skills that these heroes of mine have and still are achieving.
In the meantime I'll keep reading...sharing in their brilliance along with millions of other people around the world.
and any time I need a little more inspiration I can just reach up to that shelf and take another little slice :-)
Leftover gift ribbon. Waiting for next Christmas maybe?
Sometimes I just like to hide behind the camera...It's a kind of safe place to be :-)
