There Are Book Stores and Then There Are Book Stores

MENDO01a

The Mendo Bookstore In Amsterdam
I love books and especially photography books.  I have an extensive collection of fine photography books that grows every week.  I read a lot and love good novels and literature.  I must admit though I haven't purchased a hard copy of a books like this for years.  I download my books and now have an extensive library on my iPad.  Using my regular size iPad and an iPad mini I have my reading material with me where ever I am.  And, no matter what device I use they are all synced so I can start a book on my iPad and continue it on my iPhone or iPad mini.  Now, this is not what this article is about.  It is though what many readers are doing.  This article is about a very cool bookstore.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
