Ian Brown, Bus 2A in Bowerham, Lancaster, about 1:00 on 21 July. I asked him for permission, and took several angles, to get different backgrounds. I try not to disturb people when I do this, but he then stopped reading and we talked about the Strangers Project and the Readers Project. For the first time, someone told me what they were reading: Neil Hegarty, The Story of Ireland: A History of the Irish People. He is reading other histories of Britain at the same time. He graduated five years ago and we talked about people we knew in his department. Today he was on his way out to the university to do some work for a course.
Thank you, Ian, for taking part in the project. Other photos are here:
Tinker Bell was a little too curious about humans. She got too close and was captured by a little girl. Now her fairy friends come to the rescue and fly to the mainland on their latest adventure....the Great Fairy Rescue!

Almost 5 pm, 8 May, outside the old Orangery in Williamson Park. I introduced myself and asked permission. She is Bella; she has been at the university for three months (I didn't ask which one) and is now planning some travel. She has a guidebook to the Lake District, and below it, a notebook in which she was jotting down notes. She said she had gone to Heysham the day before, and she was planning more travels.
She also takes photos; she has an elaborate SLR in that black bag. She used her phone to show me pictures of her little son and her mother, and other family photos. She does them in dramatic black and white, with dark backgrounds. We discussed the light for he photos I had taken of her; I noted that the sun had just gotten a bit hazy, after being very bright, which is why I decided it would be good for a photo.
Thank you Bella, for being part of my project. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

A peaceful reader at a park, while walking through the San Isidro neighborhood a week ago.
Check out my walk during that day here. It was a long one!

Reykjavic Airport, about 4:30 pm. It was very crowded with all the Icelandic Airlines flights waiting to board; you can see some of the people and luggage in the background. She was wrapped up in this book: George Friedman, Flashpoints: The Emerging Crisis in Europe (perhaps a good book to read in the mid-Atlantic).

I love this vintage button from my stash. I have been hoarding it for so long, it was nice to find a home for it!

5:10 pm, Williamson Park, Lancaster. I asked permission. She is reading 'A Dance with Dragons', Part of James R. R. Martin's 'Game of Thrones' series. Again the book is reflected in her sunglasses. I wish I had taken the picture further back, because what was really striking was that she was sitting with a view from the Park out across Lancaster and Morecambe Bay.
Many thanks for agreeing to be photographed. Other photos of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
Shot taken at Kéan Coffee in Newport Beach, CA. Taken with a Canon EOS T2i with an EF 50mm f/1.8 lens.
i shot this years ago in the basilique of saint-denis, but only came across it now. despite being taken at iso200, it turned out quite noisy, but when converted to b&w it creates an interesting grainy feel.
Priory Hall Cafe, about 4:25 pm. Apologies to the reader; the light was lower than I thought and this is in focus but very grainy. I prefer this shot to one from the side, because she has great glasses. She is reading Dan Rhodes' novel 'This is Life'.

1:15 p.m., Fig & Sparrow cafe, Manchester. She was deeply involved in studying, even in this busy cafe; I asked for her permission when she was up getting sugar so I would not disturb her. She was apparently studying law,
