All week I’m sharing single-subject photo series I’ve made.
I love used bookstores, especially small ones with carefully selected offerings. If you do, too, then please visit Zionsville and step into Black Dog Books. Be sure to greet the genuine black dog that snoozes on the floor.

Oooh, used bookstores are my kryptonite. I always find things I simply must have and then I add them to the piles of books I cannot find the time to actually read. Must. Not. Go. There.
For me, it used to be used record stores.
Oh boy, those too. But at least I can listen to music as I drive.
By the looks of it, you’ve never seen the inside. :P
Sure I have! That’s were I made this:

There is a book store in San Francisco called Green Apple books that was opened in 1967 by a fellow who had just done a tour in the US Army. In an old pre-1906 wood structure in the Richmond District at Sixth and Clement. Started small and is now two floors in a typical small front face but long building you see in The City. Upper level has nooks and crannies with hidden alcoves and other small rooms filled with used books at over 100,000 plus 60,000 new books. The upper floor also has the mandatory creaking wood as you walk around. Still one of the few “old” things left in a city that has embraced tech and lost it’s soul to greed and consumerism.
It’s the cycle of life, I swear. I remember many districts in Indy that used to be quaint and run by real people, which have since been “transformed” with chain restaurants and modern out-of-place apartment buildings.
I love the look of this book shop 🙌🏻
It’s just charming, inside and out!
Love books….also my kryptonite. I’ve been thinking of places that I frequent with my cameras. Usually to test new films or cameras or lenses. so I have “accidentally” made a couple of series like this. Need to dig them up.
The office building and the shed (later this week) were accidental, but all the others I’ve shared have been deliberate. It’s nice to have some reference subjects.
