 I felt that this image sums up the Palace Hotel in Port Townsend Washington. Its a beautiful Victorian hotel with a manager who is more than happy to let photographers come in and photograph the rooms and common areas.

I like the lighting and the composition. Nice contrasts.

pages of the book seem kind of blown out...

Nice old feel to this, but lacks lasting interest for me.

Wish I could see a version with the book in the focal plane.
