ABCs in NYC!

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to fulfill an artistic adventure!  I met up with Alison, one of my closest friends from my Barnes & Noble days, in Astoria, Queens. After a great lunch with Laura and Mike in tow, we bust out our cameras and went to town. We ventured on a photo scavenger hunt in Al's Astoria neighborhood.  The goal was to try and capture as many shapes of the alphabet letters
in natural objects without touching anything!  At first, it was a little tricky trying to capture an "A" in a brick wall, but throughout the day, letters bravely poked their heads out of their respective hiding places.

Al taught me a great concept of "negative space," which is the space between objects that creates a separate image.  Often, optical illusions employ negative space, for example, this goodie:

Can you spot the object that uses negative space?

Anyways, here are the winners from our photo shoot in alphabetical order.  I won't provide the letter that I was shooting for, but feel free to comment what you can see :D
