**This photo was selected as a Finalist in the 2018 Photographer's Forum photography competition; as such it was published in their "Best Photography of 2018 anthology.** Have you ever thought about how when we read a book, we let the characters out to play? This image is called The Story Lady, not because she reads the book, but lives it, cat by her side, of course. The second of my "book series" of imaginative composites celebrating the endangered species of "real" books.
Playing with my granddaughter's quite literary cats, apparently gone wild in the bookstore. This is a version of this image sized for purchase.
Not sure of the title yet for this one, which suggests how we enter into the magic of story, and how characters become a part of our lives, sometimes well after the story ends. Third in my "book series" of fanciful, imaginative composites in celebration of books.
