In loving memory of Jeremiah Wheatley, army scripture reader, who died Novr 15th 1918, aged 81 years. "A sinner redeemed by the grace of God." "He fought a good fight."
Jeremiah Wheatley was born in County Westmeath, Ireland in 1837. At the age of 24 he was married, and a sergeant in the no 9 field battery, 4 Royal Artillery, based at Christchurch in Hampshire. By 1871 they were based in South Shoebury, and he was living with his wife Mary and 4 children.
By 1881 they had five children, but Jeremiah was no longer a soldier. The family were living in TIlehurst on the outskirts of Reading. He was recorded as an Army Scripture Reader. He first appeared in Ipswich in 1891, when he and his family were living at 46 Christchurch Street, an address which still exists. By 1901 they had moved around the corner to 145 Woodbridge Road.

Reading on the beach with Wicklow Head in the background. The big lighthouses are all old, and the one at the very tip is the operational one, which looks very different when seen up close.
She doesn't seem to be worried about murderous teens on the rampage. Now I could have been mean and drawn a cross-hair around her, but I didn't want to scare anybody ... This is outside "Castle News" shop at the beginning of New Road, i.e just off Bonn Sq.
16 July, Ruskin Library, Lancaster University. I explained my project very briefly and asked permission. I took the photo from a distance, because I wanted to get the sense of her perched on the white stone causeway, in the brilliant (and unusual) sun.
Thank you for participating.

The cover of a Southeast Asia edition of RD published in Chinese, that I found in Canada in the 1980s. In this magazine I found ads for the Colt Galant and Datsun 2000. There was also a Hong Kong edition that was printed in English.
This is the RFID reader I built. It uses a parallax basic stamp 2 microprocessor (HomeWork Board pictured) and a Parallax RFID reader module.
Priory Hall, Lancaster, 4:00 pm. When I told him about the project and gave him my card, he said it could be a bookmark, so it is unexpectedly useful. He's reading Terry Pratchett's 'Moving Pictures' (1990).

Java Cafe, Oxford Road Station forecourt, Manchester, about 1:00 pm. I asked permission; he is reading up on English grammar for work. Unfortunately, I seem to have broken his concentration; he asked if the project was international, and I said it was, so far, mostly in Lancaster.
I like to get the book in the frame, but with this angle and this wide aperture, I had to choose whether his face or the book would be in focus.
Thank you, Peter, for being part of the project. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
I am a keen reader - here I'm posing with The Blackest Bird by Joel Rose, which I recently got as part of LibraryThing's early reviewer programme. Actually, I finished it a couple of days ago so need to find time to write up my review of the book.
For this image I used the wide end of the 18-55mm kit lens to include both me and the book.

3:50 pm, Lancaster University Library. The library is a busy place these days, and I like to look down at the courtyard where there are always people hard at work (there is also a tree, as you see). I asked this man for permission to take his photo, and he agreed, but he had a lecture at 4:00. I ran upstairs to take the picture (with more time, I might have gone up to the next level). He was reading 'Basic Econometrics', with his notes spread out around him.
Thank you for participating in my Readers project, and apologies for breaking your concentration. I hope you got to the lecture on time. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes star in The Hours director Stephen Daldry's haunting period romance tracing the complicated love affair between a German teen and a mysterious woman twice his age. Based on author Bernhard Schlink's best-selling novel of the same name, The Reader opens in post-World War II Germany, where ailing teenager Michael Berg has fallen ill with scarlet fever. Nursed back to health by Hanna, Michael eventually makes a full recovery and decides to thank his benevolent caretaker in person. Upon being reunited, Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and the pair quickly enters into a passionate yet clandestine affair. Later, after intense readings of The Odyssey and Huck Finn, among others, Hanna vanishes without a trace, leaving Michael heartbroken and despondent. Flash-forward nearly a decade, and Michael is a law student observing Nazi war crime trials. When Hanna wanders into the courtroom and takes a seat in the defendant's chair, her past comes into focus just as Michael uncovers the secret that will have a profound impact on both of their lives.
La historia de "The reader" comienza en la Alemania después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Volviendo del colegio, el adolescente Michael Berg se siente de pronto enfermo y Hanna, una desconocida que le dobla la edad, le ayuda a llegar a su casa. Una vez recuperado de la escarlatina, Michael busca a Hanna para darle las gracias. Comienza así un apasionado y secreto idilio entre ambos. Michael descubre que a Hanna le encanta que le lea y su relación física se hace más profunda. Hanna encuentra un inmenso placer en las lecturas que le hace Michael de fragmentos de "La Odisea," "Las Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn" y "La dama del Perrito". Sin embargo, pese a la intensidad de su relación, Hanna desaparece un día misteriosamente dejando a Michael confuso y desconsolado. Ocho años más tarde, siendo estudiante de derecho, Michael asiste a los juicios por los crímenes nazis y se queda atónito al encontrarse de nuevo con Hanna - esta vez, como acusada en un juicio.
