photographing everyday objects that resemble letters of the
alphabet, then arranging the photographs in a collage to create any
name or word. Alphabet Photography Inc. is the original and
leading company in the letter art industry, and boasts the largest
collection of photographs collected from around the world.

First, pick a theme. State this in a single word that is at least (six
letters, no more than fourteen).

word was P-L-A-I-N-F-I-E-L-D, I might take pictures around the
high school.
