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.

Here is one of The Coveted's readers! She bought these Basquiat-inspired Reebok Hi-tops and sent in her photo! She's adorable!
Every night my kindergarteners bring home a book to read aloud to me. I love hearing their little voices and watching them beam with pride as they become little readers!
Written on the back: "August 9th, 1923. Y. Fisher"
Many different scenarios can be concocted from this photo ....
Tydarius Cobb, 9, reads a book with Clemson University student Deavin Rencher, a sophomore studying special education and member of the Call Me MISTER program, at Uptown Barbers in Central, S.C., as part of the Razor Readers program. Razor Readers brings Clemson undergrads to local barbershops to mentor and teach underpriveledged children the importance of reading. Logs are kept of their progress and if they read five books they get a free haircut. (Photo by Ken Scar)
4:10 p.m. White Cross pub, Lancaster Canal. Deniz is reading 'Insanlarimiz', a Turkish translation of a book by Maxim Gorky. She translated the title as 'Our People'. She said the last book she read was in English, and she wanted to read something in Turkish. We talked about where it is that people read outside, particularly in this cold month of the year.

9:10 a.m. Scott is reading The Lord of the Rings. He said he was in his third year of university, and thought it was a book he should read before he left. He is sitting where he would have the view of Lancaster Castle shown in the other photo.

Who reads her while she reads? Her eyes slide
under the paper, into another world
while all we hear of it
or see is the slow surf of turning pages.
Her mother might not recognize her,
soaked to the skin as she is in her own shadow.
How could you then? You with your watch and your tongue
still running, tell me: how much does she lose
when she looks up? When she lifts
the ladles of her eyes, how much
flows back into the book, and how much
spills down the walls of the overflowing world?
Children, playing alone, will sometimes
come back suddenly, seeing what it is
to be here, and their eyes are altered. Hers too. Words
she’s never said reshape her lips forever.
Down here at Canterbury Heritage we're always pleased to be able to identify reader's old New Zealand photographs, but we'll have to admit that maritime history continues to be an equal interest. Accordingly we were delighted to see a mid-Victorian photograph, of great rarity and of potentially significant interest to international maritme historians, in the collection of a renowned Christchurch collector of early photography.
In a northerly aspect of the anchorage off Portland Harbour, Dorset, at some time between 1872 and 1874, the photograph depicts three Royal Navy warships at anchor.
In the foreground is the cadet training ship HMS Boscawen, launched as HMS Trafalgar in 1841. Stationed at Portland from 1872 until 1906, she was broken up in the following year.
The middle ship is the HMS Achilles, launched in 1863, she served as the guardship at Portland from 1868 until 1874. In her time the five-masted ironclad was the largest sailing vessel in the Royal Navy and mounted the greatest area of canvas ever spread by a warship of any nationality. Renamed HMS Hibernia, she became a base ship in 1902, subsequently known as HMS Egmont, then HMS Egremont, her last change of name came in 1919 as HMS Pembroke. A modified design of the extant HMS Warrior, her 63 year career ended with demolition in 1925.
In the distance is HMS Minotaur, commissioned in 1868 as the Flagship for the Channel Squadron at Portsmouth. In 1893 Minotaur was re-named as HMS Boscawen II and used as the cadet training ship at Portland until 1905. Subsequently renamed HMS Ganges, she was broken up 1922
The date ascribed to the photograph is attributed as a consequence of the stationing of the Boscawen at Portland from 1872 and the removal of two of Achilles's masts in 1875. An adjacent photograph of Portland Harbour in the same photograph album is annotated with the date of August, 1874.
