Photography Book Club 13

Happiness is moving your books back on to the book shelf in your newly painted living room.

Working with the idea of expressing a mood or feeling in today's shot. I realize it's a personalized shot, which was a no-no in Freeman's exercise, but I'm sure Mr. Freeman never had his books stacked in a back room for 3 months, completely inaccessible. Believe me, putting the last book back in place this morning was truly a cause for celebration!! Had a little fun with the processing to pull out the "happy" and I promise to be more serious tomorrow- maybe.
What fun! Definitely conveys a feeling of celebration and pure happiness. And books are part of the mundane challenge too though I'm not sure if it started today.

Oh yes, I can relate. Did that a couple years back and like you have tons of books I just can't give up :-) I love the clever way you processed this.

@moreyoulessme Thank you Jerri! I am totally with you on too many books and not enough space. Those were the ones that were ON the shelf. It does not include the ones still packed in boxes in the attic!
@mrssmith203 Thank you Carla!
@henrir Thank you Henri!
@archaeofrog Thank you Katie! I did manage to pull some out when I really, really needed them but it was such a pain!!

Nice shot, Ann ... cool processing too. Glad that your books are finally back where they belong! I still can't believe I gave away my entire collection to a shelter. I love the color of this photo and the pattern of the funky flower thing. Well done.

@prttblues Thank you Bev! That is a good thing you did with yours. I should pare mine down by half but I am such a sentimental slob! Actually, I really think I'm getting to the point where I will be able to do that. I just don't want to take care of all of them anymore. And there are so many still in boxes- what good are they there?

Congrats on getting all the books back in place. A big project. Cool processing on this shot too.

@nadaa Thanks Nada! Well the books on these shelves are back in- but most of my cookbooks are still in a box in the shed. We need to paint the dining room before they can return. )o: This project is taking WAY TOO LONG!!
