LO-FI PHOTO FUN by Adam Bronkhorst

August 17, 2015

Book cover of LO-FI PHOTO FUN by Adam BronkhorstFirst and foremost Lo-Fi Photo Fun is about getting creative with film photography. While Brinkhorst did state in the introduction that many techniques can be applied to digital photography as well, most of these results would have to be achieved in post-processing or through digital photo manipulation.

Preview: Nimona

August 15, 2015

Hardcover of Nimona by Noelle StevensonI have no idea what Nimona is about. The sole reason I picked it up at the library is that one of the Popsugar Reading Challenge prompts is “A graphic novel” and Nimona is one. Of course, I didn’t pick it all that randomly. I’ve seen a whole lot of people I follow on Instagram and Twitter gush about it. Seeing how I have no idea where to even start with graphic novels, I figured I might as well start here.

Mise-en-scène: Maps

August 14, 2015

Mise-en-scene: Maps – 1909 London Map in A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs WallerMaps are such great inclusions in books that bring their stories to life. I like being able to trace the sequence of events according to their locations. One map which I particularly was delighted about was the map of London from circa 1909 that was included in A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller.

SAINT ANYTHING by Sarah Dessen

August 13, 2015

Audiobook cover of SAINT ANYTHING by Sarah DessenSaint Anything wasn’t a book I had meant to read. I figured that the three unread Dessen books that I own should take priority and I don’t even know when I’ll get down to reading any of them. Perhaps I’ll read one later this year since I did like this latest release of hers. The reason I decided to listen to the audiobook of Saint Anything was that it happened to be available to me via Overdrive, so I decided to borrow it on a whim.

Is Bookstagram Losing its Shine? — Overcoming Bookstagram Problems

August 11, 2015

A stand against bookstagram problems with  camera on stack of green booksOver a year ago I took the plunge into the world of bookstagram. I had been on Instagram since the beginning of 2011 but only discovered the bookish community last year after following a couple of book bloggers with my personal account. After very little debate with myself, I decided that marrying books and photography would be a great idea. For the most part I’m very glad I became a bookstagrammer.
