Manila, 2010
Long before they became common, in the mid-70s when I was still in university, a friend and I fantasized about opening a bookstore-and-cafe after we graduated. Too bad we went our separate ways and lost the opportunity to be ahead of a trend. To this day I like the idea, being a lover of both books and coffee.
This past week I had a delicious pesto pasta lunch in The Room Upstairs where they've taken that multi-purpose retail space business model a step further: upscale furniture and food.
My friend Rose posed for me here in this photograph I took for Weekend Reflections. Click on the meme name to find more links to reflections.
Now that's a wonderful composition! Great work, Francisca!
ReplyDeletelove that composition of light and shadow;-) have a beautiful week-thanks for your visit!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful reflection! I love the light and dark shapes and your friend modeled beautifully!
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflection, and the hands and arms add so much. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great reflection! You're probably better off without a bookstore. I think they're a dying breed. :)
ReplyDelete@Halcyon... you may be right. I know the Kindle and iPads are denting the sales of hard-copy books, but I for one would not want to read a tome like War & Peace on one!
ReplyDeleteA lovely one! I like this.
ReplyDeleteI love books and coffee as well.
Have a great week ahead.

ReplyDeleteI don't have a Scandinavian background but my mother used to read lots of fables and fairy tales to me.
Your blog looks very interesting. I love to travel and when I'm not traveling I like to see photos of interesting places.
Very creative. I like the way your friend posed and you captured that pose.
