The IHT on 7 February 2011 published an article “E-book devices draw in a younger generation”. It also showed a picture of a young reader, shot by Joyce Dopkeen.
While the article was interesting in itself (thinking about my books that do not progress) I was touched by the black & white picture. It has something soft, sensual, retro and poetic that is hard to describe. Would merit a special prize. I went to see the picture online, only to find a reduced quality color pic. Was disappointing, the appeal was not there anymore.
The pic you see here is a scanned version of the hard copy.
Sometimes I feel nostalgic about the old B&W picture we took with our film rolls.
