v    Find objects that look like the alphabet letters to spell out your name

v    Objects that look like alphabet  letters (NOT letters on signs)

v    Move in close so that it is easily recognizable as a letter-

o      Example- tree branches that look like a V. Blur out the background when taking the picture so the V of the tree branches is easily readable as the letter V.

v    DO NOT move objects together to look like the letter- MUST find it naturally!!
