Of alllll the things in Las Vegas this weekend, I decided to shoot text. I took all my photos in a super tiny space – basically an intersection. But hey! It was sort of a fun challenge to a) shoot in the 106* heat and b) limit to such a small area and time frame. When I put them all together for this post, I loved how they almost made a strange poems too. "Bally's valet parking, the best kept secret" & "bum, entire life, 4 real."

As always, please feel free to do your own photo walk. Use "text" as a prompt or anything else you can dream up. Keep the focus on just one thing though for a challenge.

All photos this time around were taken with my Canon Rebel xsi at about 4 pm. ISO was set at 100. Aperture was at 5.6 usually. See all photo walk posts here.

    Love your new photo walk. Las Vegas is the perfect place to do it, because of the wild mixed-up typos. 🙂
    I had this idea with ‘text’ too, but failed because of the boring typography in my neighborhood. I really like this prompt, so maybe I just have to look for a place that fits more and is more interesting.

    Wow! How amazing to see so much text in a small area. I love the variety of fonts and typefaces that you’ve captured.
    For my last photo walk, I focused on the theme of ‘blue’ and loved it!

    Like J.Leija commented, I would also love to know how you organise your photos. I really need a consistent system for my photo organisation!

    thank you!! I do not really have a photo organization method. Everything gets imported to iPhoto and I delete some from there. I resize all photos for my blog and those go into a folder called 2012 blog visuals (and then into smaller sub categories, like monthly goals and photo walk) but that is it. No real plan and it works for me. 🙂

    I need to do a photo walk STAT. Korea has so many interesting things to snap, it’d be hard, but good to narrow it down!

    Sometimes it takes the look through your lens, to get another point of view on well known places. Thanks for the idea of this photo walk!
