For my photo essay, I've been exploring books, from the outside to the inside, fiction to nonfiction. For me, books are a part of my earliest memories. From dressing up as a Librarian in 1st grade, to reading Harry Potter the next year, from my time as a Librarian assistant in both 4th and 7th grade, to reading books that most kids my age would never attempt. There's always been something to books, they feel like home. For a girl who is graduating from her eighth school, living in her fifth town, and her tenth house, a constant quality seems to be difficult to find, which books found themselves providing. Where my site is concerned, I picked nine photos, a number expanding for my actual books; the first three photos take on the outside of a copy of stories by Charles Dickens, the second set of three taking on my copy of The Surrendered by Chang-rae Lee, then the last looking in on a Biology textbook. The manners which each book works to deliver its message, provides a dynamic array of results, as one would not be able to create the same photos from each subject I used. Where my Dickens book has snowflakes, Lee's book has a raised image of liquid dripping down on both sides. Where Lee's book has no images, the Biology text provides different diagrams explaining each subject matter, for instance.
