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.
8:55 a.m., More? Artisan Bakery, Staveley, Cumbria. She is reading 'He Said, She Said,' a thriller by Erin Kelly.
This excellent place for coffee has expanded, so it is more of a sit-down coffee shop. It is just off the road if you are heading from the motorway to Windermere. (Mr Duffin's Coffee is nearby).

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.

11:15 a.m. In the entrance foyer to Tate Britain. Christine is reading 'True to Our Feelings' by Robert C. Solomon, which she says reveals a lot about the emotions - and it is readable. The painting on the wall behind her is Edward Burne-Jones, 'The Uninterpreted Dream.'

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.
Ross, Eccles-Piccadilly tram, 10:47 pm, 13 June. The Wagner performances were great places to see people reading: programmes, texts, and studies of all kinds. I watched this man on the tram from Media City, which was packed with audience members and musicians just after the performance. He was intent on this book even though he was crowded all around, and standing in that part of the tram that bends at each turn. He was reading the philosopher Roger Scruton's book 'The Ring of Truth. The Wisdom of Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung', which was published just last Thursday.
I couldn't get the sense of the crowd into the photo, because I only asked permission when the crowd thinned out closer to the city centre, and everyone else moved away when they heard me. In fact the musicians and audience members to my left were coaching him, telling him not to smile, which only made him smile more, and telling him to try not to think about 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? =\
Hace poco tuve que cubrir la misa de una graduación universitaria, en el aburrido protocolo vi algo curioso a lo lejos, el monje de la catedral leyendo con un extraño artefacto muy concentrado. Me acerque y no pude evitar tomarle unas fotos. Increible como se las ingenio para poder leer.
La gente es asombrosa!
11:28 a.m. Proud Mary Coffee, Alberta Street, Portland. Keithen is reading 'The Screwtape Letters' by C. S. Lewis.

Alexandra Square, Lancaster University, noon. The sun was coming straight from the south. I asked his permission, and of several shots I like this one best, because it shows the long bench by the Learning Centre where others were out enjoying the sun. He is reading Joseph Stiglitz' 'Globalization and Its Discontents'.
