Jazz Age Photography

Really nice use of sepia to highlight the book. You have a fine collection of photography books.

Thanks Esther! It's actually a little selective color ... sepia was the color of the book.

Wonderful book selection; I particulaly love the Jazz age beauties! You've composed the photo beautifully!

Thanks Valerie! Last minute attempt! :-)

This is beautiful Norm. Your featured book reminds me of the Phryne Fisher books too which are so good. Hope your internet gets better soon.

Thanks Karen! I suspect it's going to take a new provider to solve the problem, but I've got a couple of things to try yet.

I love shots that really make you look, excellent s/c Norm.

and good luck with that internet... it's frustrating to say the least!

Thanks Wendi! Cameras and Courage by Margaret Bourke-White ... I haven't read this one yet. Whenever I run across a photographer ... I'll buy everything I can find on them.

Yes ... but a minor frustration compared to the roof leak and the refrigerator going on the fritz ... Monday was not a good day! I'm going to plug in a new modem when I get home and if that doesn't do the trick ... I may switch providers.

Great use of selective colour. Hope you get your internet sorted soon.

Thanks Harriet! I've got a work around, but it's not the fastest connection!

That's funny! Cameras an.d courage caught my eye too. Great shot and love the selective colouring. Great work

Thanks Jan! Cameras and Courage: Margaret Bourke-White ... one of many of her books that I have. :-)

there must be treasures in all those books...
nicely presented

Thanks Christel! Yes ... lots of great ideas and things to think about!

Perfect selective for a great shot!

Thanks Paul! :-)

Really nice shot Norm and the use of selective colouring gives a 3-dimensional feel to the finished image! :)

Thanks Paul! I actually bought a couple of prints found in that book ... too bad they didn't make it in time for the challenge! :-)

Put them in NOT the Sunday Challenge!

We'll see ... They were due to arrive today.

nice big pile of books there and that selective sepia really pulls that one book out of the picture

Thanks Amaz! :-) There was a "Twilight Zone" episode where a fellow had piles of books everywhere ... and I thought about doing that, but just didn't have the time to set it all up.

"Time Enough At Last?" That was a good twist it had at the end.

Yes, but I couldn't help thinking there was an optometrist shop there someplace! :-)

Wonderful composition.

Thanks Don! :-)

Wow another collector of books, great stack of books and I like the Art Deco feel to: Jazz Age Beauties :)

Thanks Chris! Alfred Cheney Johnston photographed those girls during the peak of the Art Deco period. I was given my first book in first grade ... and the collection has been growing ever since then. :-)

The shot really looks nice, Norm! Sometimes when we do things at the last moment, we don't have time to overthink them and they come out beautiful like you've done. Spot on with the concept and execution!

Thanks Kenny! Yes ... sometimes things work out better under pressure! :-)

Beautifully done, love the vintage feel, and the composition.
