At the beginning of 2009, I did something I usually don’t do: make a New Year’s Resolution. I decided to create an alphabet series of photos. One photo for each letter of the alphabet. So far I am to G (promptness obviously isn’t a priority with this project). It is something I dove into hoping to improve my creative thinking. Here are my newest additions for the letters F and G. I hope to do H this weekend. I’ve got a pretty good idea cooked up if I can pull it off. If you want to see the earlier ones, take a look at my Flickr account, www.flickr.com/jakebarber

F is for FREEDOM!

It took me awhile to come up with something for F, but you can't go wrong with Braveheart. On a historical note, the blue face paint (called woad) used by Mel Gibson in the film wasn't actually used by Scottish warriors, but by ancient Celtic warriors way before William Wallace's time.

G is for Geronimo!

I’m pretty sure my neighbors across the street think I’m crazy now. They watched me jump around in the front yard for quite awhile.

If you ever wondered why people yell Geronimo before a large jump, Wikipedia has an interesting answer.
