I guess you are talking about cookbooks... ;-)
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

hmmm -- I don't think powells allows photography. Although I know several who've done it. The place is so huge, that maybe I could get away with it. Either way, I'd probably spend the rest of my life trying to re-create this awesome processing... so maybe I'll just sit here and enjoy your image :-)

that's one of my favorite quotes! I love this one! go Bacon! =)

"...that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."

this photo is to be chewed and digested! =P
