The Hall, China Street, Lancaster. He was apparently writing notes on academic papers, with the light behind him. I had just come in from the cold, and my lens had condensation on it, but I like the effect.
Thank you for permission to take a photo, and apologies for the fog.

"She began and ended in the Nymph Hide-a-Way."
12:05 pm, first floor, Cafe Dolce, Market Street, Lancaster. This woman was sitting in the corner in their spacious cafe, and I asked permission to take her picture. This is the first time I have photographed someone reading a book in Indonesian, and also the first time I have photographed someone reading their own book. She is Rilda A. Oe. Taneko, and she is the author of 'Seekor Capung Merah' (she translated the title as The Red Dragonfly). It is her third novel, published last year. I asked why she was reading it, and she said she was thinking of translating it into English, and was puzzling over some of the difficulties the language posed.
Thank you for agreeing to be photographed, and apologies for interrupting your thinking. We look forward to the translation! Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

This picture of newspaper readers on the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was taken by one of my students in the MA Programme in Journalism at Addis Ababa University, namely Joseph Girmay. The newspapers have been an important but scarce source of information in the politically unstable situation in Ethiopia since the general elections in May 2005.
So, I found this strip of warning icons on a piece of equipment the other day. Of course, I peeled it off to put it in a scrapbook. But the point I want to get to is, are these two symbols meant to warn us of people who read over our shoulders? Or is it an encouragement to let others read along with us? You can tell they are practicing social distancing: the book holder must be so far away we can see most of the body, but the other reader is so close to us all we see is a head.
We're Here! with photos of reading.
