This ad is actually more attractive than the b&w ads that Ford Australia was mostly running in RD in the early Sixties.
Self portrait.

Reading on the terraces along the Grand Union Canal in front of Central St Martins College of Art. (A stranger; I asked his permission).
2 June 2022 - Sam is sitting behind Inverleith House in the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, reading Tristan Gooley's 'The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs.'

Music Room Cafe, Lancaster, about 3 pm. I was struck by the light, which is from a desk lamp to the right. I asked her for permission, and asked him for permission to use his left shoulder. She is reading a holiday brochure, and like some other people in this series, once I've asked for a photo, she can't help smiling.
Thanks to both of you for being part of the project. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
Tamper Cafe, Arundel Street, Sheffield. I asked permission. Martin is reading and, it seems, taking notes on an essay by Hanan Tarkan,
'On Being "The Other" In Post-Civil War Lebanon: Aid and the Politics of Art in Processes of Contemporary Cultural Production'. from the journal Ibraaz: Contemporary Visual Culture in North Africa and the Middle East. You can find it here: www.ibraaz.org/essays/63.
Martin asked whether I was only considering reading of paper, or reading more widely. I said books, magazines, and newspapers produce a posture and pose that is different from that people have for screens.
By the way, Tamper Sellers Wheel is an excellent place for coffee, and it is near Sheffield rail Station.

Williamson Park, Lancaster, about 1:50 pm. He was reading Andrew Marr's 'My Trade: A Short History of British Journalism'. I asked for permission. Thank you for participating in my project. Other photos of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
6:21 pm, Quernmore Road. I asked Matthew's permission near Williamson Park, and then ran further down the road to take a lot of shots of him as he passed by. It doesn't make for a well-composed photo, but it does give some sense of how he was walking. I was struck by the way he was walking down a hill and reading with some concentration. He is reading '12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You' by Tony Reinke.
He asked me how I had gotten into taking pictures of people reading. Then we talked about how he can read and walk so briskly. He says he did it from early on, and developed the ability to maintain an awareness of what was around him as he walked while still focusing on the reading.
Thank you, Matthew, for letting me stop you. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
I shot this a while back, but it seems so relevant at the moment. The bronze monument is in Ashalnd, Virginia and honours Jay Pace, the long-time editor of the local newspaper the Herald-Progress. Men and women like Mr. Pace dedicate their lives to the truth. We should never forget.
British Library, London, 10:53:49 am (it says so on his watch). There is a circle of stone seats in the forecourt of the library, a sort of amphitheatre (see other photo) and he was perched reading. I asked permission, and he was kind enough to return to his reading and let me take some photos.

Lancaster Canal, near Nelson Street Bridge. She is reading 'Creaton and Evolution (When Christians Disagree), edited by Derek Burke; she laughed a bit when she showed me, perhaps because it is a very serious book to be reading outside on a sunny day. I was limited in the angles I could try; I wanted to get the canal into the picture.

the 6yrold is just a great natural reader . . . hand her a book as a prop and before you can take a shot, she's reading it.
"Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great reader, and has no pleasure in anything else."
Reading outdoors in winter, I'm not sure anyone actually does that except for photos, but it definitely looks pretty.
If only my focus had been on - even with some high pass sharpening, it's still so fuzzy. This is the second shoot where I've used the 50mm f/1.8 II Canon lens exclusively, and I've had the same problem both times: some of the photos are tack-sharp, and the other half are completely out.
I'm not even using the lens wide open for the most part - usually I'm stopping it down to 2.8 or so. Obviously it's frustrating to discard a bunch of shots that could have been fantastic if they weren't appallingly fuzzy. And yet I see the 1.8 lens (and the 1.4 version I can't afford right now...) are some of the most popular on Flickr, with most people using them wide open. Do their photos just appear sharp at web resolution? Or do they have some magic focusing skill I don't? =\
xin reading in slytherin commons. why's he reading a fallout magazine? that's the best mesh i found and too lazy to make my own; did make the pose which took ages and didn't master blender yet :| have it here. realised i should really play him as his birthday is tomorrow lol xD
My kindle, only owned by me for less than a month, is now being "borrowed" by my daughter, in the same way that she "borrows" the computer. She also uses my mobile phone on a regular basis to play games, she's more than competent on the Wii and and using the V+ box to record endless repeats of whatever the current favourite programme is.
She is definately a child of the 21st century and I wonder how out of date my kindle will seem in 20 years time when she is an adult. Will she look at it in much the same way we now remember a spectrum ZX81?
