Do you remember the opening scene when he is lost in a dream, I do that. I am always lost and becoming more lost as I think my car is parked over there, or is it in that direction. Some urgency comes with it and increases, and I will remember that my cameras and lenses are sitting on the front passenger seat and in full view and I was only supposed to have been gone a minute.Do you like Bergman films Ant? I saw Wild Strawberries for the first tme several weeks ago and loved it. Beautiful cinematography, moving film!hehehe ...Valkommen to SwedenThat's an unusual book browsing outfit.I went straight for the book ....couldn't help myself. Although I must say, the photographer did not seem to intent on capturing every title (grin)....as I know he loves details and the surprises they offer.

There was one on Dancing mate, only $3
the Time Life books, my dad had the photography series, very beautiful books but more value than content. Granted, very technical and I suppose they would appeal to a dpr member in the open forum but they are on the table because the owner's photography never improved. I bet the owner held onto them for a very long time, and gave up trying to be a good photographer, or maybe just owning the books was supposed to do it. (grin)
The little nude is an interesting pose, not a valuable piece but I think it could be. I don't mean a million dollars but it could be $150au if it was sold the right way.
What I should tell you is to keep your eye out for 'photomatics'
I have a very special collection.
I like the idea that a person in a booth can become art, it is a selfie and yet it isnt and I have some that are precious.
The man is interesting, a genuine treasure hunter that can nearly always afford what he finds.
The books, you know its funny, Street Photographers lament that there is no financial value in Street Photography ...and then they don't buy books ...lol
I go mad for stalls like these ...you would need to start photographing me from down the street as I make a bee-line for the pretty things ...and the books.
I have so many now I need a library. We have been looking at units that have their own sliding ladders ...as a complete room. I used to play in a room like that when I was a child, would be nice to go back to being irresponsible again but without the nappies.
Thanks for my pressie Sam, I searched the entire table (lol)
… I have been debating whether to post this image or not. Because of the similarity with Sam’s shot I’ve decided to do it here (the similarity is only on the theme, definitely not on the quality or merit of the composition).
Ant. Sorry that many of the books are not in English, and that their titles--certainly those of the books inside the store--are slightly out of focus (I dialed the focus on the face of the window-shopper). I guess that all that you can rescue out of this shot being posted is something that you already know: many people value what you do for this forum.

Paul McCartney posters Steve, the window theme is music.My eye is drawn to the fashion photos showing the legs and shoes at the top of the window. Sneakers and books at this store?
A bookstore in Sweden is special, Sweden is very high art. I am a huge fan of Swedish film and I believe I have a number of Swedish authors.
The pants and waistcoat are an acquired taste though. I wonder if Benedictus's legs are as pretty.
Is always a city that I think is Spain with lots of red and orange browns like clay and I am lost and my alarm increases as my searching makes me more tangled. I still admire the shapes and colours in the streets and so I dont remember them as landmarks but do remember them again later but from a different direction and am made more lost by te confusion. Once I give up finding my way and accept me camera and gear is gone, I meet lots of people and I am accepted and surrounded by them but then their motives become apparent and sinister and I am the outsider. You want the freedom to be as you are but then you need to be on guard ...so you can never be yourself and free.
Wild Strawberries is a stunning film, I haven't seen it for ages, am having a day cooking, so I think I will watch it and my simmering pot of Malaysian Satay.
I love holidays, this one is nearly over.
Nice movie suggestion Steve, off to watch it now.
