The Call: Still Life with Books — Jessica
What do I want to say about this call? Books are my everything (within limits, of course!). As soon as I could read, I was a reader. I tried to write for awhile, but then I gave up, realizing that I was a reader not a writer.
In any event, as I was setting this shot up, I didn’t have any books in it. I kept shooting, rearranging, checking and it just wasn’t coming together. I was beginning to get frustrated when I decided to combine the call with the Be Still 52 lesson I was working on. As soon as I added the books, the shot came together. Why? Because books anchor us, focus our attention and give meaning to our lives.
I love your comments about books, and agree completely. It’s a lovely shot. The hydrangeas are just so pretty: such a nice, soft blue. The books sort of complete the circle in the image. Nicely done.
