The time has arrived for yet another challenge. This one will be so easy, you can sum it up in one word. That was it, one word. The challenge will be....

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -“The Written Word”- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

All photos must contain at least one written word. It can be any human language, and can be reversed, reflected, etc. It just must contain some word or words that are readable. A multitude of items comes to mind, as large as a blimp or barn with advertising, to as small as an inscription on a ring. Of course words are all around us, your task will be to find one or more and put it in the most photogenic situation. So click those shutters, zoom that lens, and crop to your heart's content.

Here is a dilemma however, “If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a picture of a word worth? “

Any questions, here is my email…
