The Main Reading Room

December 11, 2013 • Leave a Comment

The Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. While the Library of Congress generally allows visitors to take photographs in the Great Hall, photography is generally prohibited in the stunning Main Reading Room, except once each year on Veteran's Day.

On November 11, I ventured over to the Jefferson Building to shoot the Main Reading Room. It was a fun excursion. I've always been very fond of libraries and the Library of Congress is a very special place. Here are a couple of my favorite shots of the Main Reading Room. I hope you like them as much as I do!
