About 2:45 pm, Old Royal Edinburgh High School. As we came down Calton Hill, we saaw three people sitting in a semi-circle intent on their books in the sun. But when we got down there, two of them leapt up; they were all invigilators for the Edinburgh Art Festival installations in the grand old school building. Fortunately the one who remained agreed to be photographed. Unfortunately, this shot, which I like because it has all three chairs, has her head against the plaque to Thomas Hamilton, architect of the Royal High School. (I may try Photoshopping it out). She is apparently reading Roxanne Gay, Bad Feminist.
Thank you for participating in my project (and thanks to all three of you for making it possible for us to visit the installations). Other photos of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
About 2:30, 8 August, Music Room Cafe, Sun Square, Lancaster.
I was sitting at the next table, asked his permission, and gave him my card. I took a lot of shots; the main problem was the bright sunlight (I have lightened the shadows in post-processing) and the background (I still have a bit of litter bin under his chin). He is reading La Oculta, a new novel by the Columbian writer Héctor Abad Faciolince: cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2015/04/09/babelia/1428579437_.... It has not been translated into English yet, but some of his others have, so I think I will order one.

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!
Lima, Peru.
Taken at the World Fantasy Convention in Calgary: some of my wonderful readers stopped by to say hello.
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.
Readers 11: Gordon Square. I asked permission. This is a somewhat better shot than one from the side; the book is reflected in the glasses.
Hot Numbers Coffee, Trumpington Road, Cambridge (I can recommend the coffee), 2:45 pm. I asked permission. She is reading Rhodri Lewis, Language, Mind and Nature: Artificial Languages in England from Bacon to Locke (Cambridge UP, 2007). Every once in a while she would stop to type notes on the laptop.
Thank you for participating, and apologies for interrupting your work. Other photos in my series of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.
6:24 a.m. train from Lancaster to Preston. I was struck by his intentness, reading a book many readers have found involving. I asked permission.

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!

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'.

This is a microfilm reader. It is located on the 2nd floor of the Downtown LRC, in the corner against the wall adjacent to the stairs.

Community Centre, Glenelg, Localsh, Scotland, about 3 pm, 15 April. I was taking a photo of the excellent cafe in the Community Centre (run by Kate, seen in the background). Robert was reading aloud a headline in the Guardian, so I asked if I could take his picture too.

I loved the original sketch of this but asked the artist to make the reader "more naked". In my mind, she is reading Marian Engel's Bear. Done at Incendiary Tattoos
Sylvia Shaw Judson (American, 1897-1978)
The Reader, 1946/1961
(Variant title: Boy Reading, source: “For Gardens and Other Places; The Sculpture of Sylvia Shaw Judson,” by Sylvia Shaw Judson)
Bronze
24 ½ x 17 ½ x 18 in.
Gift of the Marjorie and Richard Ettlinger and Laurie and Alan Reinstien families in memory of Viola and Lawrence Stein and Ruth and Bernard Nath
Sylvia Shaw Judson grew up in Lake Forest and was the daughter of well-known architect Howard Van Doren Shaw and the poet Frances (Wells) Shaw. Judson studied at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago on and off between 1915 and 1918 and later in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Her works have been exhibited in museums, at Chicago’s Century of Progress Exposition (1933), and at the New York World’s Fair (1939). Shaw’s work can be found in the collection of the White House, in the offices of the President of the Philippines, and at the Massachusetts State House.
Sylvia Shaw Judson received much posthumous attention in the late 1990s when her Bird Girl sculpture (1938) appeared on the cover of the book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” by John Berendt. The sculpture also appeared in the opening scene of the movie with the same title.
The Reader is the first sculpture patrons approach when entering the Library. It is one of the most familiar and loved works of art in the Library, and a magnet to the younger set of library users.
