Reading Is Fundamental!
A trip to the school's media center was all I needed to take my daily photo. A few days ago I captured urinals in the bathroom mirror and so today I capture books in a window. The urinals were much more interesting!
It was difficult to achieve a long row of books to match the vision I had in my head. I tried but didn't succeed. Below I used macro to get up close and yet I didn't want it to be too close so that you could read the words. Because of that I chose to focus on an illustration so that the viewer would have something to look at. This challenge is having an effect on me. I'm thinking much more before taking a photo. It may not always turn out successfully in the image, however, I am thinking!

I really like this set of images. You have a theme too, along with Phil. I like them all, but I think my favorite is the last one of the close-up of the book. Nice job.
My favorite is definitely the last one too. There's something different about it...like I've traveled back in time to read that page. Good idea Steve!
I really love that last shot too, Steve! It was a great idea to focus on the illustration, and it does have an "old-fashioned" feel to it. Very creative!!!
Well here I am Steve.. At Curry they are doing 1000 Books by Kindergarten Program. Needless to say Mary Lyford is signing up the little girls down stairs. You should do a post about the pernicious effects of TV on young kids..NO TV UNTIL 12yrs IS another Famous program related to reading
