I began photographing books last March as a way to cope with the loss of my grandmother. Though she passed away before she had the chance to see my pictures, I think they’d have made her happy.

What began as a hobbyist’s emotional escape quickly evolved into a passion for photography. From the very start of this journey, I’ve been blessed with amazing support from book lovers and photo enthusiasts from around the web. Truly this venture might have petered out by now, had it not been for the steady encouragement from readers like you. Taking pictures of books will be, for me, a lifelong pursuit. I ought to say this more often than I do: thank you.
