This week we have a literary challenge, and it’s not that I’m going to challenge you to write, but the protagonists of this week are the books. Reading and everything that surrounds books will be the theme that you should include in your photos.
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The themes will be offered on Saturday, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and propose a new theme, and so on?
- Is reading travel.
- Dreaming.
- Learning.
- Appreciating.
- Feeling? Every book you read is like living another life.
- Feeling at the hands of the characters.
- Knowing other worlds.
- I once heard a mother ask her son why she was crying if what she was reading was fiction.
- The child replied.
- “but what I feel is real.
- “And so it is.
- You can read fiction or fantasy.
- But what you feel when reading is real.
- And anywhere and any time is conducive to you to immerse yourself between its pages.
This week, I challenge you to capture moments surrounding books or their readings, are you trying to convey that magic that catches the reader, the smell of paper, the beauty of an edition, an unusual place to read, the most extravagant position, the most engrossed face in history?You may find your image on the street, or on the subway, or in the living room of your house, wherever it is, think about framing and composing well, and why not, change perspective. good reader of the blog, I know you will put into practice our tips and, with your photographic sensitivity, you will send a beautiful snapshot I can’t wait to see them!
As usual, to take part in this week’s challenge, upload your photo to the photographer’s blog Facebook wall: In the photo description, please mention the keyword? Book challenge? followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Good picture
Books, along with photography, are my passion. I can spend hours immersed in its pages without anything around it attracting my attention, so I want to thank all the photos you sent me because, for me, each of them is a gift, a little illusion, dreams, stories to live. I want to thank once again all those who, week after week, spend part of their time making this challenge possible, because without you we could not continue it, a challenge without participants is like a rose without petals, or as a book without readers. And thanks to those who joined him recently, because the blog reached 200,000 followers on Facebook this week. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL. And I’m always late.
You know this isn’t a contest, there’s no prize, the best prize is to learn and overcome something you’re passionate about. The important thing is to participate, learn and know the work of other readers. The selection is totally subjective and consists of putting a sample of all the images received, however, the large photographs are out, but is it not possible to put them all?Thank you to everyone who sent us your “books”, be in this featured gallery or not.
Now you wonder which one I prefer? Well, I have to say that Mercé Ramírez Andrada fell in love with her “Always before sleeping, a little reading. ” It is true that there are adults who over the years like to read, but the real reader, the one who almost prefers to read before eating, the one who always has time to get lost in the history of a book, the one who goes to the dawn saying “Another page?” It is handled since childhood. A book eater is one from a very young age, when he hides between his covers to read his favorite story if he is asked the eleventh time to turn off the light. This is where the true love of reading begins and this is what this image reflects. I love it for what it matters but also for the photography itself. Although it is such an everyday moment, the colors are in such harmony that it seems that it has been prepared, and the light that bathes only what matters is great, just enough to “read” the story and the face of the child so involved in the history that nothing that happens outside can capture your interest, that’s why everything else is dark, because it doesn’t matter, because nothing beyond the book and its characters doesn’t count. Congratulations Mercé!
