The well-thumbed paperbacks were stacked in piles before duplicate copies of a poster featuring the head of a wise looking man very much in the thinking mode. I moved my camera lower to bring the books up to eye level to further abstract the posters, and shifted my vantage slightly to allow the nose, mustache and mouth on one of the posters to show between two of the book stacks. In doing so, I create an image that speaks of bookishness in a whimsically incongruous manner.
