Lancaster Station, 11:10 am, the day after referendum results. I asked his permission, and he seemed a bit amused by the project, but willing..

4:45 pm, Williamson Park, Lancaster. I saw him reading in the surprising afternoon sun, and asked his permission. The book is 'Framing Muslims', by Peter Morey and Anita Yaqin. I like the fact that from this angle the book is reflected in his sunglasses.
Many thanks for agreeing to be photographed. Other photos of readers are here: www.flickr.com/photos/greg_myers/albums/72157652125931010.

About 2:15, K F Oriental Supermarket, Lancaster. I asked for her permission, and said that my project on reading didn't have anyone doing stick-taking. She said she wasn't photogenic (she is, though I haven't captured that quality here) and suggested the I photograph the man behind her stocking shelves (who is someone I know). But I said he wasn't actually reading a list. I jsut took the one shot, and not a great one, but I didn't want to bother her further, because she was busy advising a regular customer about fish, while checking the shelves and keeping an eye on the till. I am pleased with the way it suggests the crowded and colourful shelves. It is the perfect place to go if you are looking for, for instance, mirin or lemon grass. They also have big bundles of fresh coriander for less than the tiny packets in the supermarkets: www.fullhousenoodlebar.co.uk/services

About 2 pm, White Cross pub, Lancaster Canal. I have wanted to get a photo of the people sitting in the sun by this pub, so when I saw him on my way to work, I asked permission. I wish I had gotten closer; he is reading Die Zeit.
Thank you for participating in my project.

4:50 p.m. Williamson Park. My first shot was from the side to show she is looking (if she looks up) at a broad view over the park, the city, and the bay. But this shot conveys better the last bit of afternoon sun, on a cold day. The is reading Paul Zweig's Departures for a module on accounts of dying in literature. (I had him confused with Stefan Zweig). She said I could make up a name for her - so it's Lotte.

To my Readers
Lucian Blaga (1895-1961)
Here is my house. There is the Sun and the garden with beehives.
You are passing along the road, peering through the slats of my gate
expecting me to speak. Where shall I start?
Believe me, please, believe me,
one could talk as long as one wants to, about anything:
of Destiny and the snake of Goodwill,
of archangels tilling
the land of man,
of heavens towards which we aspire,
of hatred and fall, of sadness and Calvary,
but, above all, about the Great Passage.
Yet our words are only the tears of those who wished
so much to cry and could not.
Bitter are all those words
and that is why, please, allow me
to pass in silence amongst you,
crossing your road, eyes closed.

SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
Transylvanian-born Lucian BLAGA was a graduate in Theology of the Sibiu Seminary, following which he took a doctorate in Philosophy from Vienna university.
After WWI, Blaga served in various Romanian embassies in Warsaw, Prague, Lisbon, Bern and Vienna, before he returned to the Chair of Philosophy at the University of Cluj. With the advent of a Communist Government, Blaga refused to back the new regime, as a result of which he lost his University Chair and was demoted to the position of librarian. Furthermore Blaga was forbidden from publishing his academic work, being only allowed to publish translations, before he was finally sent to the Communist jails. After being freed the poet came out a shadow of his former self to die a few years later.
Lucian Blaga was proposed for the Nobel Prize by Rosa del Conte, Mircea Eliade and Basil Munteanu, but their initiative was fiercely opposed by emissaries of the Romanian Communist Government sent to Oslo for this purpose. As a result of these political machinations the Nobel Commission caved in: it will not be either the first or last of such scenarios – a sad reflection on the effect of the long hand of repressive regimes on the decision-making of an otherwise distinguished Academic Institution.

old and new technology side by side. I also love the way the bloke spreads out and takes up around 2/3 of the space, and the X and O shapes of the legs. Seen in University Parks.
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.
