Description:

I got this idea from a project I did in photography class. Take pictures of things that look like letters. For example: a cloud that looks like the letter i, or branches that look like an x. These do not have to be only natural things, they can be buildings, anything as long as it isn't a pre-made letter. The letter should be clearly visible, but just in case, write what letter it is on the back. If you want to, you can also write a sentence or two about where you took the picture at, etc. but this is not mandatory, just optional.

You will take one picture for each letter of the alphabet, and mail them to your partner. Below state whether you prefer color, black and white, or sepia images. Some people, like me, prefer black and white pictures. If you have a black and white setting on your camera that'd be the easiest, or you can also convert them on your computer as well.

International swappers welcome, because a stack of photos isn't really that big or heavy. No newbies, since this is a somewhat lengthy process. You must have at least five mailed swaps, and nothing lower than a 4.8. You will have three whole months to take these pictures, because I can understand it could be a challenge to find some of the letters. Any questions, post below or PM me!

I'd love to recieve all of my letters in black and white, and more than likely I'll frame them all together =]

Black and white for me as well. This sounds like so much fun, I can't wait!

Hey, I've just found this but no newbies? That's not welcoming. J

i would like black & white and color, either or both.

Theory, if you look around A LOT of swaps say no newbies because they are a HUGE liability in a swap that requires a lot of time.

ok, i'm sorta new, i've sent out 6 swaps through the mail, they all went well and i'm working on others and i swap on another site also, so please don't be worried about me completing this, i promise i'll do an amazing job! ok, so my partner can alter the color, or not, on my photos absolutely any way they feel, i like suprises and i like to see things the way the artist/photographer prefers.
