E is for Elephant. I don't know how many times I said that this morning. Learning the alphabet is an important part of children growing up, but it can also be a helpful exercise for photographers. Not just because, "Me photographer, me need to know how to speak and write," but for many reason.
The other day I went out and about Knoxville and tried to find letters. I had a specific word in mind because that helped me focus a little bit more.
But you would be surprised how hard it is to find letters, "in nature."
I love this exercise because it makes you look at the world differently. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be.
I encourage you to try this, even without a camera! It really helps you "see" objects not just how they are but as how you would like them to be. (Deep, right?) So in the end I ended up with the word I wanted.
I'm still going to play around with the letters more, and also try to find some more letters. Feel free to share what you find!
