I went to the Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver mostly because I love book stores (especially independent ones) and partly because I hoped my photo of the day would be of solemn, gilded tomes beckoning would-be readers from the shelves. The plan failed because (a) my fixed 50mm lens couldn't fit many books in frame, thwarting the desired gravitas of many books together and (b) book stores are not well-lit places. An old typewriter positioned atop giant fake books on the stairwell served as my subject instead. At least it feels bookish in an inferred sort of way.
I really like this picture. Old typewriters are a lost art form.
