These were made in "Transforming the Landscape," a 4th-session photography class taught by David Graham. Using natural light softened with tissue paper, I got up close to the interiors of books with Marianne's Canon Powershot G9 (I should really think about buying one of my own), which has a wicked built-in macro lens and astonishing resolution for a non-SLR digital camera. Perhaps because it felt a little like working with a large-format view camera, these photos look very MCAD-y to me. I haven't decided if I like that yet, but I do like the images themselves. I call the series "Illuminated Manuscripts."

These are really beautiful, Wes. The lighting is well done...
