Victoria

I've been enjoying every walk in the city a lot more since this lettering project started. Keeping my eyes open for things like this.

Words are so important. And with imagery and photos, I sometimes forget that they are quite beautiful too.

Scale

















Hagia Sofia, Istanbul, Turkey.
At first glance you might miss the girl taking a "selfie" in the arch. I also found the contrast between her human scale and the gigantic calligraphic panel quite striking.

Frankfurt Airport, Germany.
I had just got off a long flight from New York and had a longer flight to New Delhi to look forward to so I was eager to stretch my legs and check out my new camera so I started photographing strangers who were surprisingly obliging and unsuspecting. I had a great time and was lucky to get this portrait.

 

Puerto Rico, USA.
That's my dad inspecting the bottle of beer I had ordered with our meal. I think he was trying to figure out if real Trappist monks brewed the beer or not. Turns out it is. In case you are a beer aficionado - Rochefort Brewery.
6th Av. New York City.
This is the giant Robert Indiana Love sculpture on 6th Av. There's a constant line of tourists waiting to be clicked in front of it. If I had the patients, I would stand there for hours taking pictures of tourists as they carefully arranged themselves in from of the piece, each person changing the meaning and context of the four letter word.

Great choices for the Lettering project! I love the modern-ness of there being a selfie in the beautiful old architecture. And that sign is standing out like it's floating off the screen, hovering magically.. Trippy and surreal composition. o,O I like it!

I once came across one of those signs that said "Post No Bills" and there was a picture of Bill Nye The Science Guy, a duck bill, Bill Clinton, and a few more I can't remember. Your photo of the sign here has the same humour ;) Nice find!

Thanks Lena, I tried it straight on as well, but liked the triangular angles in the corners better :)

Sail Heel

This was taken last month but I thought I'd post it anyways since it fit the July theme. And I like it..

It seemed a mystery as to why either of these things were here, in a back alley of Vancouver's Yaletown.

Picturing the lettering being made... It's pretty interesting.
