book photographs
Aachen❣️Germany, circa 1997.
This photograph has nothing to do with photographing books, but as I searched for photographs & images, I remembered this one. It is almost a miracle I have it — let alone found it. Originally, it was a glossy paper photograph that I scanned in 2011.
while thumbing + swiping
through Instagram, I was bitten by the bug of photographing books + reading corners a few weeks ago but did not do it. I mean, where do I start? Then it happened again today, and I decided not to ponder. I mentioned how I shelf my books — not very organized or methodically, but as already read, super favorites, to read, spiritual, some which I don’t want in the house, my husband’s. I shall figure out how to photograph them.
will post on instagram
Of course, for now, I will photograph books where they currently reside. Otherwise, I may prop, reshuffle, wait for the proper light, and take forever to post. I have a thing for aesthetics. Mmm, this is contrary to what I wrote in the previous photograph. Am I going in circles? I shall photograph and post as I wish. May also include magazines because I have tons of those, even though I have been weeding them through.
i could photograph (unused) picture frames galore too!
maybe i will and start a trend 😄
