Rule # 1: You may submit up to 3 photos. Send them to suesun40@gmail.com or give me links to your flickr photos. Try to make them of the largest size and highest resolution possible.... all the better for voyeuring in. However, any photo will do!
Rule #2: I will publish what you send me as is. I will neither censor nor judge nor crop.
Rule #3: Please do not rearrange or organize or dust or manipulate your bookshelf in any way immediately before its photo-op.
Rule #4: I trust that you will follow Rule #3, because to doubt you would be foolish and completely unprovable.
Rule #5: I will publish photos anonymously, or with your name as the title, and/or with a link to your blog/website. The choice is yours-be sure to let me know your desire. You may be as transparent or as obscure as you wish.
Rule #6: Optional: Write some sort of explanation or description or history of your books/bookshelf, in prose or in poetry, and I will publish it along with your photo(s).
Rule #7: I can change the rules at any time.

“The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet.” Anthony J. D'Angelo
why and how
Browse the bookshelves of strangers and friends. Add yours to the collection.
Be sure to click on the photos to peruse a little closer.
If you would like to expose yourshelf, here are the rules.
the bookshelf
The bookshelf displays only a slight sliver of time and place at any given moment, and allows the observer only a few inferences about us. It reveals both the content and the structure of our lives simultaneously. Who we are. What we think. How we organize, if at all. It contains books, yes, but also memories and outrage, tears and photos, secrets and flummery. The bookshelf may seem permanent and timeless, but unless you are a stagnant human being, your library has mutated over the course of your lifetime. People change. So do their bookshelves.
