I am trying to collect the “Detroit alphabet”. What I mean is I am taking pictures of letters around Detroit. For example the F in FOX or the J at Joe Louis. Also anything that look like a letter. An example of that would be if you look at the fist on Jefferson from the side it makes an A. Any good Ideas? Thanks Tim (Message edited by TimmyJohn on September 18, 2008) | |||

The UAW monument in Hart Plaza is your "O" The obelisk near there is your "I" Crop and shoot with a vertically-oriented frame a section of DPM track with a support column in the center to make a "T" | |||

Go to Google Maps, Satellite view, find the NE corner of Lafayette and Rivard. You will find C, H, & U (or perhaps, n, & I, depending on what you need). | |||

The F in the blue oval Ford logo is distinctive. Timmyjohn, welcome to the forum. Great idea. Can you post the collection here? | |||

I like the Goole maps or Google Earth idea. I wouldnt consider this cheating at all, asking for advice from friends is perfectly okay when working on a project. Maybe that was a joke though and I took it the wrong way. Are you able to photoshop the photos for this project? | |||
