for the love of...

Books. 

These are not {just} books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice... and just as the touch of a button on our set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart. ~ Gilbert Highet

I love how adding books to a still life helps to tell a story.  Add an antiquarian book, some children's books or the latest bestseller and the story will change. The books give us a deeper look into the life of the photographer. What books do they like to collect? What are their children reading? What is inspiring their thoughts for the day?

Wander around your home and look at your family's books. Is there a reoccuring theme? What do they say about you and where your interests lie?

Our featured photographer, Snolic...linda went to a tag sale and found a stack of old cook books for $1.00. She was happy to discover that one of the cookbooks was a cookbook her mom had when she was a child.  Priceless.

Until next time...
