Alphabet Game
Take pictures of the unintentional letters you see in life. Like the Js I see in today's IotD. Enter as many times as you like for each letter (but only one pic of each scene). If there are too many entries for a given letter and you have a zillion, I will ask you to choose your top entries.
I will not cheat and use the pics I have from my Alphabet City Focus Study.  Archive pics may not be used. Pics must be taken from this point on. Deadline is Halloween. Polls posted sometime during November. Guidelines for judging: 50% similarity to written letter; 30% originality; 10% composition; 10% discretionary. Some dwellars use cheap cellphones, some have cameras that cost $1Ks. All are welcomed and encouraged. Please do not judge based on blurry, low res or other camera quality issues. Scores: 1st place: 10 points 2nd place: 7 points 3rd Place: 5 points 4th place: 2 points 5th place: 1 point Prize: Bragging rights.

Are we going in sequence?
Extra points for tough letters like Q? Do they have to be unintentional?

no, sequence not required, yes unintentional, no extra point Q is not tough, trust me -circle with a line through it?
V, I'm cool with trusting people, don't be a dick.

What does unintentional mean? You mean the letter just looks like a letter and isn't really one, right? We can intentionally take a picture of it, right?

Oh, I would add:
No Photoshop except for cropping, resizing, and rotating. |

Already done in many places. But that's pretty cool. It's fun to find your own, though.

And let stick to the english alphabet. 26 polls is all I can cope with. upper and lower case will be lumped together.
In fact, let's eliminate I, O and L because they are too easy and that takes it down to 23 which is a great number.

I was assuming we had to go out and shoot things in their native locations? Doesn't matter to me, but we should all play by the same rules. |
