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?

This Is Photobomb

Wait a second. This is Prom! Yeah, that's right. Kirk and I had a great time dancing and hanging out with our pals.

(this one needs a great caption...any ideas?)

Those guys can dance!

Family Farm Trip

I love little outings like today's to the pumpkin patch. It's gets us out of the house and is a fun adventure for the boys. Bruce had fun crawling through the tunnels and running around in the maze though I think he most enjoyed playing in their sandbox. Go figure!

Not sure what to say about this picture...

We brought home one small pumpkin, one gallon of apple cider, and some fresh produce. I was hesitant to purchase the pumpkins we'd like to carve because I didn't want them to rot by Halloween. Does anyone know how long pumpkins last?

A Whirlwind

My biggest worry about our trip was how the boys would handle the extended car time and topsy turvy schedules, but they did fantastic. They were so well taken care of by family and friends that we had time to breath and relax.
