This week’s prompt for our weekly documentation was one of my most favorite words, books. Since I can remember, I have loved to read. I am passionate about books and have an addiction to them. I love all kinds of books: interior design books, photography books, autobiographies, cookbooks, chic lit., crafting books, etc. I usually visit Barnes and Noble at least once a week to peruse the shelves. I love the smell of books (I know I’m weird). For me reaching the end of a novel, usually involves a brief period of ‘mourning’…I’m sad to say goodbye to the characters whose lives I have encountered if only via the pages of a book. But the beauty is that there is always another book on the horizon.
This week I purchased a Lensbaby Composer, so I was excited to use it for this week’s image. Obviously I have lots to learn, but it is really cool and fun to experiment with.
Just a sampling of a few of my favorite books…
You can visit the lovely and talented Chrissy’s blog to see how she photographed books.

I completely agree. Going to B&N is such a treat. As much as I love gadgets, I just can’t get excited about electronic book readers. Terrific shot! The vase and flower are such a nice touch.
