In all my twenty four years, the longest love affair I've had thus far is with...books. While probably not the juicy answer you wanted, it's one-hundred percent true! As much as I love photography, I don't think I'll ever love it as much as reading. Though I've read a few books on my iPad, there is still nothing quite like curling up on the sofa with a glass of red wine and a big fat book and diving right into a story.
So, imagine my delight upon discovering Type bookstore's video "The Joy of Books". Since being published two days ago, this stop motion video has gone viral. Not only is the video beautifully done but you can only imagine how much time and effort went into this project! The characteristic effect of stop motion is created by stringing together individually photographed frames of objects that are moved little by little in each scene. Coupled with the music choice, "The Joy of Books" perfectly captures the wonderment I always feel when browsing the selection at my neighborhood bookstore.
Enjoy!
p.s. - the book title at the end is worth watching for!
p.p.s. - what was the last truly great book you read? I just finished Julian Barnes' Talking It Over and I can't stop thinking about it!
