A couple letters . . .

The "R" I found painted on a fence in Washington's Skagit Valley last month, and the "K" came from a metal container in a boatyard in Port Townsend, Washington.

My affinity for photographing letters (and numbers) hasn't abated over the past decades, much to the puzzlement of many of my viewers!

Around the island . . .

Over at Fort Casey on Whidbey Island there’s a big searchlight, and next to it is an old generator that has the most glorious peeling paint and lettering on it. I’m sure EVERY photographer visiting the area has shot that generator, or at least CONSIDERED shooting that generator. I was no exception the other day as we were doing some exploring.

Latest letters du jour

The big "C" is something I created this morning, combining photos of walls with a "C" I photographed on the side of a railroad car a few weeks ago. The red "F" comes from a fishing boat (I believe — I'm finding it more and more difficult to remember where some of these images come from because I'm shooting all the time). And then the "R" is something I isolated from an overall graffiti pattern on a railroad car in Santa Fe.

The "C" was uploaded to my Fine Art America site this morning. I hope a "letterophile" will like it and want to bring it home! ©Carol Leigh
