i grew up in a household where words were worth more than gold (both parents were writers), thus reading became everyone's favorite past time by default. thus, for this month's theme, i chose to dig through my figurative photo crates and pull out pictures of everything surrounding my favorite art form (surprise: not photography) and search for all things book related...

i do the same thing (and told him so)...when something is so greatly written, i have to write it down.
it will either serve as inspiration...or a really great quote.
please visit one of my favorite 'photography mothers', singwa lim, at buckeroomama to see her take on this month's theme.
there is magic and wonder in the eyes of her children and she does a beautiful job at capturing it in their daily lives.
afterwards, please join us and share your own 'storytelling' themed images on the the creativity project facebook page :)
I LOVE all these great images. Books and reading are one of my greatest passions, it's lovely to see you like them too. That hand shot and the little pig tail image really tugged at my heart. so beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful shots! I love love LOVE shots of people reading to/with children. That is the foundation of knowledge and wisdom. And the little feet on the stack of children's books? Priceless shot! Now I want to go to a library and start taking pictures.. :)
ReplyDeletelove love love love all the images of your story-telling! I wanna the my boys to the library this week ;) Your images reminded me that it's always such JOY to discover new books and explore.. Thank you for sharing your heart with us!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO good. So, so good. I loved every picture and I wanted the post to go on and on forever.
ReplyDeleteI love the pile of books with the tiny toes. How cute is that? I LOVE your Mom's hands. I love the library card with the eyes peeking out. Did I ever tell you that your pictures are some of my favorite pictures of all time? They are! You are so good.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the pile of books with the toes! So adorable! I think it's awesome that you grew up with writers.
ReplyDeleteBooks and writing are a passion of mine as well...My purse is always so heavy and that's because I have books and journals in it. I also write down inspiring words from books I read. These images make me feel happy and for that I thank you!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your posts! This is a great example of story telling and it all reminds me of a quote I love... "There are perhaps no days of our childhood lived so fully as those spent with a favorite book" ~Marcel Proust
ReplyDeleteI love how you always have such a special, unique perspective on our themes... it reflects on what a special person you are. :) I just love, love, love this series of images. Not only do they reflect a passion of mine (and our family!), but I just love the way you've captured and presented each image --simply, no frills, yet so spot-on.
