Lost in the Lyrical Ballad Bookstore...

Hi...
It's been a while since I've posted.  Been doing a lot of shooting and printing and have gotten out of the habit of posting.  Also my world and overall level of enthusiasm about blogging about it seems to be contracting.  What has caught my interest lately is books, book stores and old libraries that still consider themselves to be an atheneum.  But today a few photos from the Lyrical Ballad Bookstore in Saratoga, NY.  a mystical labyrinth of loosely connected rooms full old, obscure volumes that remind me of the line from The Raven "Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary over many quaint and curio volume of forgotten lore".  When was the last time any of these books had been opened let alone read...











Spent a great day in the Providence Atheneum with photos to prove it.  Once I get the energy, I will add them.  In the meanwhile, there are a lot of photos still to be taken at the Lyrical Ballad.   Next time I need to bring a tripod.
