This is an exercise in observing the world around you as it is.

DESCRIPTION.
As photographers, we often look for interesting situations, places, and things that have the potential for making good photographs. Sometimes we see something that looks like something else, such as a cloud that looks like an animal, car, or face.
Turn your skills of perception toward finding and photographing things that look like letters of the alphabet. For this project, you will FIND and photograph 26 letters of the alphabet. Do not photograph letters that already exist (i.e. on a store sign, etc.), or arrange subject matter to form a letter. This project is about observation and learning to see the world in a new way.
RATIONALE:
The project is an exercise in training your eye to see what you normally would not see. Stretching what your eyes see, and your mind perceives, is an exercise in creative seeing and thinking.
