Last year while working in Edinburgh I bought a copy of ‘On Reading’ by Andre Kertesz from Beyond Words. It is a lovely little book that chronicles Kertesz’s life long project of making photographs around the theme of reading.
Having read the book I started to see people reading everywhere. Then while out on one of my regular lunchtime photo sessions I came across the following scene…
Charlotte Square, Edinburgh. 2009.
That’s the photograph that started it all for me. Since then I went out pretty much every lunchtime on the lookout for more images of people reading. I am hopeful of exhibiting some of these photographs at Beyond Words (Edinburghs only photographic bookshop). I also plan on creating a Blurb book - maybe it will run on for several volumes as this project will continue for many years.
Here are some more images from the series...
No. 26 Bus, Edinburgh. 2009.
Royal Mile, Edinburgh. 2009.
George Street, Edinburgh. 2009.
Princes Street, Edinburgh. 2009.
I will post more on this series in the future, so stay tuned!
