The Reader by maggiemae

The Reader

A play with picmonkey and an idea I saw online. Not anywhere near the same but adapted.

Three good things:
1. My magnifying glass had some use.
2. My books in the bookcase had some more use.
3. Friday Night - always seems good in spite of the fact that every day is the same when you are retired!
Love the colours and a great idea. Eye-catching!

An inspired & original shot maggie, you have great ideas in your head! Trying to read your book titles with my head on one side!

@happypat A bit difficult - I chose to put them in the bookcase like this because they are all the same height!
April 28th, 2017  
Very creative although the magnifying glass doesn't help one read the titles!
April 28th, 2017  
Great idea and well done

Such an interesting image...well done..can you share what you saw on line that inspired this?

Great idea and well done

@granagringa It was actually a fob watch with a chain and inside the frame were sets of books on shelves. Can't remember where I saw it but i do sometimes just google, photography idea. Its good to get inspiration.
April 29th, 2017  
@maggiemae yhanks...you adapted this so well!
April 29th, 2017  
nice play...always learn a lot through trying things!

An interesting experiment. And funny how true # 3 seems to be. And the corollary to that theorem is that even though one is retired, Sunday night still tend to give one the blues.
April 29th, 2017  
@mbrutus I'd have to agree with you! Its like the days of relaxation are now over - but thats not true - Mondays are free!
