Last fall, my daughter and I, cameras and tripods in tow,
visited the main branch of the Seattle Public Library in downtown Seattle,
it is an unusual building of modern award winning design.

While on the 8th floor, walking down an aisle between long shelves of books,
I saw this fellow sitting facing the exterior windows, studying intensely.
The light from the windows bathed him in electric blue light. As if inspiration were pouring upon him from heaven.

I’ve done my fair share of studying in my life, twelve years of public school and two years of college
and a life long learner, I am a lover of knowledge and books.
I’ve always learned best visually, by reading and writing
utilizing highlighting, note taking, and outlining.

eBooks,
love them or hate them.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet 7.0 Plus with wifi, with a Kindle app.
Yes, I do read books on it, but I still much prefer a physical book, that I can hold in my hand,
where I am still able to highlight important text, and write notes in the margins.

What about you,
paper or electronic?

Beautiful lights and great depth, I like.
This is a great shot. I love books, and the thrill of picking up my novel and getting that new book smell was unbelievable! You can’t get that from an electronic version.
I have a kindle, but use it for everything, except reading…… I am a real book fan and always will be!
That is pretty clever again Madge. You have a good eye for a photo.
I like that shot. So unusual and with great colors. I wonder what he is studying. :)
