Of form and emptiness . . . by ankers70

Of form and emptiness . . .

Kali @kali66 challenged me to take a self-portrait with a new book. So here it is.

I have to make some qualifying comments. I am not good at taking portraits, let alone self-portraits which always seem to end up looking up my nose. I also struggle with Photoshop and with composite photos.

Having said all that, this is a book, my daughter and I are both reading. I haven't yet finished, it but so far but so far it is definitely a pleasure. I especially like fat books that I know will give me extended pleasure, although sometimes they are more difficult to read in bed.


A great response to the challenge.
