The alphabet game

So earlier in the week I was in Vegas for the WPPI convention where I attended one of Kevin Kubota's classes.  He said one of his favorite things to do to keep in a creative state is to shoot the alphabet.  Kevin challenged everyone in the room to try it while in Vegas.  So here is the alphabet through my eyes...


One of my favorites - the lions at MGM

This was a crack in the sidewalk on the strip.  My wife said everyone was looking at me going "what in the hell is this guy taking a picture of"...

Maybe Miller's will give me a freebee for marketing for them!
 

 And my favorite...thanks to my wife the Q is her drink in the casino!

Another one of the lion's for the R

Funny story behind this one...  I went through the camera to tally up the letters and was one short..."U".  It seemed like all of a sudden I couldn't find a letter I needed.  I looked around the convention center but to no avail.  Finally it just popped in my head to shoot a toilet.  So I found a men's restroom ambitious to shoot my U.  At first I though the urinal was a good candidate but when guys kept walking into the restroom when I had my camera up to my eye I though it might not be the best idea lol.  So of course I found some privacy in a stall to finally get my U.  I could only image what the guy in the next stall was thinking when he could hear me snapping away behind a closed door in the restroom!  Hopefully he reads this lol...

I pass the torch on to you now and challenge you to shoot the alphabet!
