Now, this is a really exceptional portrait of this older man, it's a classically iconic visual narrative of the act of reading. Looking at the striking way colors and light are captured here, I'd say that the photographer of this reader “writes with light." It's wonderful and reminds me of the collection of photographs by Andre Kertesz in his book "On Reading."

I just hope I'll be reading in that book store when I get to be his age. The guy looks extremely captivated by something in that book. One of the greatest satisfactions old book stores can offer is the joy of the chase. Looks like he had decided he wanted that particular book, and then spent weeks, or months or even years searching for it. Every store he entered held out the hope that at last it would be there. And finally, here it was. He can hardly believe it.
