Sun Square, Lancaster, 3:45 pm. On a break from delivering food, Lukas is revising his physics notes, which are crowded onto these small pieces of paper. He has just finished his second-year exams, but he says he doesn't want to forget anything when he goes away for the summer. When I asked him for permission, he said that it must be unusual to find someone reading something that wasn't on a screen.
The sun was very bright (I have lightened the shadows a bit so we see his face). I tried some shots with the bike in the frame, but this one shows him better, and I hope that the box is enough to suggest what he is doing.
Thank you Lukas for participating, and apologies for breaking your concentration. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

Jack is in the cafe of Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh. He is reading Egon Friedell, A Cultural History of the Modern Age, volume 2, originally published in German 1927-1931, first translated into English 1930. Jack says Friedell is a key cultural thinker of the interwar period and that there is now renewed interest in this three-volume book.
Behind Jack is a mural-sized photo of the weaving floor of the studio upstairs. The building is an ingenious repurposing of what was formerly a pool.
Thank you for being part of my project, and my apologies for interrupting you. For more readers, see www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
Reader Rock Garden Historic Park is one of the city's most unique cultural landscapes. During the turn of the century, it was common for horticulturists to collect alpine plants on their travels and create gardens as living artifacts of their journeys. Reader actively engaged in this practice and for thirty years the Garden trialed over 4000 different plant species, making it one of the few significant gardens in western Canada. Reader used the Garden as a showplace to educate people about the gardening potential of the prairie/foothills region of Alberta, particularly Calgary.
Reader continued collecting and experimenting with plant material until his death in 1943. One year later the Garden was named in his honour and was opened to the public as a City park.
