Comments(1) Comments(8) I’ve been taking photos of objects in the library for years now… so when I saw Walking Paper’s lovely library-ish iphone wallpaper post – I was inspired to make group of my own.
Most of these were taken in the University of Michigan’s Hatcher Graduate Library, Preservation and Conservation lab, and the Art, Architecture, and Engineering Library.
All have been formatted specifically for the iphone (320×480) but they’ll probably work for other mobile devices too. Click to get full version.

Comments(1) Though I no longer make “art” (yes, I was a weird art school chick) I still love art and now I love libraries. So, here is a collection of where the two intersect.
Nina Katchadourian’s Sorted Books project
Brian Dettmer’s carved book series
chotda’s bookshelf organized by color
Mickey Smith’s series of journal spine photographs
Abelardo Morell’s photographic book series
