Photographing Words assignment Oct. 2008 - Love

[kiley9806]

my mother in law gave me this idea, and i thought i'd pass it by you guys, to see what you think...
she's seen it before, in stores, where you have a grouping of photos - say or 4 shots or more, of different shapes & objects that together make up a word or phrase. her friend always signs cards etc with the mantra 'live, love, laugh', so she's sent us out looking for photos to make up these words to frame together for a gift. we've found things so far like the base of a picnic table being an 'A', a buildings side & its windows making up an 'E'. so far the 'G' was the hardest, but we found a few trees at a park that people carved names into, and got a good 'G' off there...
i was thinking it might be a cool & fun 'assignment' in the future....

i've been doing this on another forum. we have been doing two letters at a time. i'm almost done.

if you click the link to my blog below you can see my name spelled out. i also have a bunch on my flickr page. http://flickr.com/photos/morganhenderson/2896996963/

im planning to put my last name on our wall. and make some for newborns with their first name.

[kiley9806]

fun! this is just what i was talking about... youve got some really good ones for letters there! nice idea about the newborns names too...

[kiley9806]

so i take it no one else is interested in this?

[Marko]

Nope, count me in. Sounds like fun even if it's just a few or many people playing Plus it just forces us to get out there.
Thx for the suggestion

anyone else?
Thx - Marko

once we started talking about it, it really got us looking at not only lines, but shapes and detail to the extreme. i think it wuld be a fun exersize

[morgan]

i've almost completed this, but i'm still looking for more. i want to have multiples of each letter so i can spell out words without redudancy.

[Marko]

So what phrase or concept do we want to try first. Feel free to suggest one Kiley or Morgan

[tomorrowstreasures]

Yes, I love this idea as well! Count me in too!

[kiley9806]

maybe, like morgans class, we could all try to find our own 1st names?
or a common word - like 'love' or 'photo'?
