Alphabetography ChallengeLocate objects, lines, and forms that most resemble each letter of the alphabet, from A to Z. Letters can be discovered in natural and man-made forms, found in shadows, or made by cropping with the frame of the camera.

"At the core of many of us, no matter how and where we live, are somehow similar and concerned about similar things. By and large I can assume that most things that are important to me resonate with other people too. If what you do does not resonate with you, it does not matter to anyone else." - Sagmeister, "The Art of Introspection"
