Oh man - this week's project was a toughie!
The idea: I love to read and both Christmas and my birthday bestowed new additions to my Penguin classics cloth-bound, book collection. Said collection sits right next to my computer and I would say a collection is pretty repetitious. Also, I think one of the most relaxing, soothing things to do is to climb into bed after all my chores are finished and the house is so still, and read, read, read! So this week I didn't have to think too long or hard for an idea.

The execution: TOUGH!!! I rarely take pictures of anything other than people, so something about photographing an "object" was kind of intimidating. (You would think it would seem easier since it is 100 percent stationary!) Anyway, the time that I could do my "assignment" today resulted in me having to shoot fairly close to the books (to get the best lighting) which resulted in perspective distortion - as you can obviously see below. I even went to the trouble of putting the books on a sheet of glass to get the reflection and using a tri-fold presentation board behind them - none of which even mattered in the final shot :) Bummer, because I loved the shots with the reflection in the glass but the distortion in those was too bad.
However, I did learn a lot from this week's assignment - which is the point, right?
