Book Photography: Jane Austen, Part I

A lot of the time you can find me hidden behind a camera. There’s something about taking photographs that speaks to me. Perhaps it’s the way photographers can see beauty in everything around them or maybe it’s the solitude of venturing off with nothing but a camera and my imagination that gives me joy? Either way, I love it. Recently I decided I wanted to do a photoshoot with books, and who else should be first but the amazing Jane Austen. So one fine day, I put on a jaunty sun hat and strolled out to the garden with my Austen books in tow. Enjoy the results and stay tuned for Part II next weekend!

playing favorites ;)

So what do you guys think? Should I make book photography, or book porn as I like to cheekily call it, a regular feature here?
