My name is Clive, resident in Cape Town, South Africa. I am an amateur photographer who has been enjoying the medium in a more serious manner since 2003.
I took a trip to the UK armed with a Minolta Maxxum 7000 that I had inherited from my Dad.
Out of the holiday snaps, I managed to get a few that I felt were quite good, but had no idea of how I managed to get them 'right'.
Since then I have done a couple of courses in the darkroom and joined a local photographic society where I was on the committee for a while.
Hopefully I am getting it 'right' more often these days.
I have a Minolta Maxxum 7 and being tied into the lens system, the Sony A100 DSLR was my introduction to the digital world. This has recently been upgraded to the Alpha SLT-A55 and I have to admit that I have shot more digital in the last five years than film!
My daughter Kristen (Kris10) and son Sean (fotoSean) have accounts here too, in the hope that they will learn too and share my passion! Sadly they have been rather quiet of late, much like their dad...
August 2015 marks the end of my 3 years as coordinator for the Photographic section of Renderosity. What a wonderful time of my life that I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you all for the opportunity!
Keep the smile alive,
Clive

Very cool idea

Oooh, this is exciting, especially if you can rearrange the books! I see a few goodies there...true classics of world/brick literature. What I find most striking is the color. That earthen-red color is so crisp and sharp, but not as searing as I would have expected in a photograph centered on bricks. I love the concept and the lack of an actual focal point is what adds to this shot for me. There's so much room to wander around without the burden of an anchor. Not only that, but this is just such a cool shot! Marvelous! Elegant. Would this qualify as art literacy?

I'm with Chip about the focal point. Not having one makes my eye go back and forth along the shelves looking for just the right thing, much like my eye travels a library shelf upon first approaching it. Being able to reserve books on line and pick them up from the hold shelf when they're available has cut down on my browsing time in the actual library, but it's a familiar feeling, looking at your image. Nicely done on their part AND on yours! :)

A perfect capture Clive and as the rest said, i agree with them with this capture no focal point is needed. God Bless.

SO good! What a masters trek of an idea, and Thankyou for sharing. Like Tara and Chip I think the lack of focal point is deliberate,

Certainly a brain and eye teaser plus a great capture too.

It certainly is an imaginative idea for a library, particularly as it continues the mortar lines, making me wonder if it is bricks or street art. Love it either way!
