On Reading

Andre Kertesz published a delightful little book called "On Reading" in the '70s.  I stumbled upon it and, shortly after I received a used copy as a very welcome gift, it was reissued in paper cover.  (My hardback copy is cooler.)  I am more than a bit of a book and reading nut myself so I shamelessly picked up the idea not only as a tribute to Kertesz but because the pictures were so charming.  Just as the dancers, people who are reading are easy targets -- once they are absorbed in their book the rest of the world vanishes.

The entire project currently contains, well, a lot of prints.
