Took Me Long Enough

I finally finished my urban alphabet.  Finally.  I only have a week left in this 365 day photo project, so I figured I really needed to get out there and find that annoying and elusive "Z".  Here it is...

and here's the whole thing...

A Through Z

Finally Trying to Finish a Series

It's about time that I finish up an old series.  My Urban Alphabet.  I started it awhile ago and really want to finish it, I have far too many partially completed projects.  So I went at it this morning with a vengeance.  A rather effective vengeance, apparently...I got eight letters.  Leaving me with three to go...

More Urban Alphabet

I figured I should probably finish up Ephrata, PA's urban alphabet before I leave it for...well...potentially forever.  I only have another 25 days left before the big move to Northern Ireland.  I must say, I am crazy excited.  Also, I realized that when I started this 365 photo project, without even knowing it, I started about 6 months before the day we leave.  I think its about 5 months and 20 days.  So I will have half a year in America and a nice contrasting half a year in Northern Ireland.  It will be quite interesting to go back and see what a busy day that requires a filler photograph in America is in comparison to a filler photograph in Northern Ireland...I assume filler there, if for no other reason than because I have never lived outside of the USA and thus will be amazed by everything, will end up being a lot better than even some of my good stuff here.  We shall see.

Urban Alphabet

More than halfway done...Hopefully I can finish it in the next 25 days.

Urban Alphabet

Today I stumbled upon the next three letters for my urban alphabet project.  DEF.  I now can write a few words.  I'm no longer limited to cab.  Feed, deaf, and bead are just the tips of the proverbial icebergs.

I'm 23.07% of the way there! yay.

A Car

I am not a big car person.  They can look pretty sweet, that's for sure, but I don't feel like I need a special car that looks a certain way or does a certain thing.  Actually, I am trying to get rid of my current car, and have little to no desire of ever getting another one.  We shall see how that goes.
That being said, I was around some pretty nice looking cars today.  Here is one that is apparently a pretty desirable vehicle.

Cadillac CTS 4

I certainly won't say this isn't a nice car.  It looks pretty sweet.  If someone wants to give me one, I swear, I will not turn it down.

Ideas for Series

I came up with two new series ideas today.  One isn't really mine, I've seen it all over the place, in fact.  The other is mine...as far as I know.  The first is an urban alphabet of sorts.  Basically, I find different things that you might come across in a city that resembles a letter of the alphabet.  My intention is to get the entire alphabet, as well as 0 - 9.  This then allows you to write out a word or name or what have you with your hometown, or whatever city you chose to do it in. 
My second series idea was to create a self portrait.  My desire is to, from time to time, take a picture of different body parts and then create a collage from those single shots.  In addition to just having these separate shots to piece together, I also will be shooting each body part in a situation or with an object that relates to that body part as well as exposes something about me, such as an hobby, an interest, a characteristic, or whatever.  The final collage will be both an actual portrait of me as well as a less physical, more metaphorical portrait of me.

Urban Alphabet

This will be an urban alphabet from the quaint little town known as Ephrata.  The first three letters of the alphabet are shown here.  Limited to these letters, I can create the abbreviation for "already been chewed", a necessary abbreviation for the younger generations, as well as the word "cab."  That's about it.  Once I build my repertoire, the possibilities will be endless.

My Left Hand

This photo shows not only my left hand, but also my love for the outdoors.  I am grasping a tree in the photo, but it looks enough like a rock that the image can be taken as pretty much any nature related physical activity...rock climbing, hiking, climbing a tree....anything.
