There were alot of options that I could have chosen for my favorite environment. One of my favorite locations to visit is the bookstore. Since I had the opportunity to go there this week I felt it was the perfect place for me to choose for this week's assignment. I go there several times a month for different reasons. As I think back on the times I went this past year I realized that I not only went for books on diets, exercise, religion and travel. I also went for my daughter's assignments, gifts and to just sit and chat with a friend. When I was looking around to find a patron to photograph I saw this woman just sitting. She didn't have a book or anything for that matter, so I approached her and ask if I could take her photo. She was a little hesitant but was willing to give me a quick smile for this photo. Later I learned that she was there for a business meeting with a colleague. I really had not thought much about the different uses of the bookstore until I stopped and pondered the reasons I go there. After taking a picture of this woman and finding out a little about her reason for being there, I realized that she also uses this location for other reasons besides buying books. In my first photo I was trying to capture long depth of field so that when you look at it you can get a clear picture of the bookstore. When I was taking a photo of the woman I was trying to blur the background and sharpen the foreground.
