Steve McCurry: On Reading | Steve McCurry
6 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
A celebration of the timeless act of reading - as seen through the lens of one of the world's most beloved photographers Young or old, rich or poor, engaged in the sacred or the secular, people everywhere read. This homage to the beauty and seductiveness of reading brings together a collection of photographs taken by Steve McCurry over his nearly four decades of travel and is introduced by award-winning writer, Paul Theroux. McCurry's mesmerizing images of the universal human act of reading are an acknowledgement of - and a tribute to - the overwhelming power of the written word.

I‘ve been here awhile but I‘m not as active as many. Still, I was excited to celebrate this this morning. The tagged book is a book of photographs of people around the world reading which I have on hold from my library and can‘t wait to read.

Normally can't afford photography books, but decided to splurge on this beautiful book. Totally worth it!

Menschen in den ungewöhnlichsten Situationen beim Lesen zu beobachten, macht mich sehr dankbar, dass ich doch relativ viel Zeit zum Lesen finde. Ein wunderschönes Buch. Eine Welten- und Zeitreise. 😍

To watch people read in extraordinary situations, makes me thankful, that I have pretty much time to read. A wonderful book. A journey around the world and through several times. 😍

vivastory Adding to TBR. Looks splendid 7y
Sarah83 @vivastory It is. I like the idea the photographer has. He puts the reading people into their common surrounding and captures their faces. 😍 7y

Da ich ein schlechte Nacht hatte und ich mich heute kaum konzentrieren kann, schaue ich anderen beim Lesen zu. 😍 Wollte ihr mitgucken?

Since I had a terrible night, I'm not able to concentrate, I watch others reading books. 😍 Do you also what to have a look?

vivastory Sorry to hear you had a bad night 7y

Weihnachten ist so gut wie vorbei und der Bücherstapel ist ganz ansehnlich. 😊
Ein Buchgutschein und noch ein wenig Geld können den Stapel noch wachsen lassen. 😍📚

Christmas is over and the book stack is quite nice. 😊 A book voucher and a little money can raise the stack a bit. 😍📚

@Liedie Mein Stapel ist ein wenig kleiner als deiner. 😆

Liedie @Sarah83 Aber nicht weniger schön! Sherlock, hach ... ? Viel Freude mit den neuen Büchern ☺ 7y
Sarah83 @Liedie Das stimmt wohl. Man muss ja auch noch die Zeit zum Lesen finden 🤔 7y
