Life is like a bowl of Alphabet Soup

Starting a challenge with myself and anyone else who wants to come into the playgound:
Starting this weekend, I'm gonna look around the house for a Thing that begins with the letter A, take a photo of it. The more obscure the word and translation into a photo the better. (I'll be readng the dictionary, too). The next day (or whenever I find something), the letter B; the next day the letter C, etc etc etc.

Not gonna have any rules, except I'm going to try to keep the sequence. But if I find a quirky Q Thing I'll take the shot and save it for the Q day. Not going to limit myself to house stuff either, but I suspect most everything will be inside photography. Hope to learn something about artificial lighting in time for the holidays.

If I can find something everyday it should be finished just after the first week in December, just when life gets pretty crazy. Anyone who wants to play with me, make a gallery & send me the link, and I'll put the links together. I'm not sure how long I'll last, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

I'm with Pedro, I can't believe I didn't see this one before.
Fantastic job Karen :)

Very creative Karen, wish I could jump onto the bandwagon, but just not enough time. I will have fun seeing what you come up with though.
Guest 15-Nov-2004 22:22
Well done...

Great idea. And I love your face on the soup can for your Friday SP.
Lori Rolfe13-Nov-2004 09:14
sounds like a fun idea...I'll be checking it out!.... nice soup can :-)

Love this one, and love the "souper" idea you have come up with.

Good on you Karen !! Look forward to the ride along ! Campbells canned soup is definately the closest to homemade when it comes to flavour. Never seen one with you on it though, but will keep looking on the shelves ;>)

Gulp! Tomorrow is A!

Didn't realize 'Colors' had one going; don't mean to copycat; I guess there are no more original ideas :)

The project sounds like a difficult one Karen which means that you are likely to pull it off with aplomb. You are off to a good start here for sure.
Guest 13-Nov-2004 03:20
Oh, I love the idea. I don't know if I can play along everyday, though. Well, maybe! Your PaD today is so much fun! LOL Love this. You are indeed a classic! :)

So, tomorrow, then will be "A?"
Guest 13-Nov-2004 03:03
Sounds like a fun project! When you get to the letter H, check out "colors" gallery for her H's.

Great idea Karen now if only you could collect royalties from it.
Guest 13-Nov-2004 02:41
Great idea and nice shot, I like the face on the can.
Guest 13-Nov-2004 02:39
Looking forward to it Karen
