Living Among Type! #2

 I do not know if any one can see the capital A. it is on the left of the traffic light. I like this so much because of its value. Maybe the shadow is giving it this feeling. In addition to that, the steel material provides it with sharp outlines.
 This is a banana tree next to my house. The M letter is shown by its leaves. I think some body has realized that I am posting a lot leaves and nature elements. In fact, I find it more interesting to me because they are not created by a "human being".
here is the C. I did not pay attention the the position of this photo when I took it. now I am noticing the combination between the background and the letter itself. The outline shape of the letter is sort of different also. it has some curves and some cut edges. 
 This piece is the shadow of my fence. I like how the shadow gives this effect on the ground. The letter A here is kind of squeezed between two elements. Personally, it depends on how we look at it. Some people will see it sitting between other letters. In addition to the position of this letter, I can see a message coming through it. Greatness is the clear message. Moreover the contrast between the negative and the positive space is very nice. If the background color was black, the message would be totally different. 
 This picture seems none-sense for a normal person, but it says so much to an artist. top of the trash represent the letter D. I took this photo from this certain spot intentionally. The shape of the D could look dull if I took it directly from the front. Using this perspective makes me see the letter as a three dimensional object.
Here is another C that I took from a seat. It has the same idea of the the letter D. The letter C in here shows a clear three dimensional view. Again the material plays a big role in here. Although the seat is made of reinforced plastic, it looks like a white rock if we changed the background. For example, we could post it on a white wall and the material will be shown differently.
