Alphabet Photo Art

I have a iron scroll easel sitting on my end table in the living room. It used to be here, but now feels empty and alone since an 8"x36" plaque doesn't fit well for the space. I love the look of alphabet photo art. Heard of it? Here's a quick snippet to describe it...

Alphabet photography is a new and very interesting way of seeing the world through pictures. Basically, an alphabet photograph is a picture of an ordinary item or bit of architecture that looks like a letter. Usually used to spell out words, phrases, or names, alphabet photography is a unique and special gift or décor for your home.

And what that means in picture form...


I found this idea and a great flickr collection with letters a few months ago, but lost the bookmark. Does anyone know of the awesome collection I am referring to? If not, no worries. It may be more fun to photograph my own letters.

Now, on to my idea. I'm going to make a 12x12 plaque that says...

my last name
E S T .
2004

It will be all nice and lined up and be perfect. What do you think?
