We may not be able to see this kind of scene in 10 years time.

Hi CM, There are books, people and people reading books in your photo. I find this a very
logical compostion. As a book lover I think the only advantage of e-books is the saving of many trees. V

So amazing, we can see that both old and young are so concentrated in reading. I still like flipping the book rather than scolling the screen. Anyway, Excellent capture!

very nice candid; interesting too see how nobody seems to have seen the camera or the photographer!

I like this shot a lot... it is about the composition and the thought in the photographer's mind... i hope printed material will survive...

Of ALL the human inventions, creations... the ones that most changed the human's lives are second... the computer chip, but first, the one that altered EVERYTHING, is without a doubt... printing. Once printing was invented, knowledge could be learned, shared, distributed, accumulated, refered to, standardized, carried...
Great shot and glad you're enjoying your little camera, it opens up countless doors for you.

Wonderful image of these people engrossed in their reading matter. I can only hope that you are wrong. There is something wonderful about the printed book. "V"
