As a way to get you familiar with your camera, and the use of Photoshop, you will be asked to photograph the alphabet.
Your challenge: Can you do it with NATURE as well as man-made letters? Try to get at least 2/3 of the images as forms. When was the last time you saw an "O" spot on your dog, a "Y" in the veins of a leaf, an "X" in a fallen tree? We need creativity, people!!!
Here is a site that may be fun for you to play with (regarding the alphabet):

Here is a site that uses butterflies : http://www.butterflyalphabet.com/ and the children's book Alphabet Through Nature by Lynne Smith Diebel and Jann Faust Kalscheur is a great reference as well.
WORD TO THE WISE: Because you are not needing to use these photos in a large format, click your camera setting down a notch. It will give you more room on your computer and your camera (and less time waiting in class!)
Think about a common thread (for visual unity), colors or items. How interesting!
