Ethiopia

@alia_801 has put together a challenge for October which involves pulling words out of a book and photographing something about that word. My biggest hurdle was deciding on a book! I finally chose The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. Why? I just wanted to do a children's book and I thought this one would have some fun words to use. The first word I landed on was Ethiopia. This is going to be interesting...

This is a perfect picture for this word and what a great idea....I didn't see this challenge....

[Colleen]

That was a strange play, but a interesting read, well thought!

[Kerri]

Cool

[Carole Imes]

Clever!

@mrssmith Thanks Carla! I didn't think I'd be able to make to Ethiopia and back today, so I opted to use the map. (o: I think if you go to @alia_801 and review the last week of Sept. pictures, she posts the challenge rules and instructions. I don't think she posted it as a discussion or competition. I think she may have posted on September 30th.
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen. I never saw it as a play, only a children's cartoon. But I must say this is one book that has to be better as a book. I don't think the film version I saw did it justice.
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole.

Great idea. I like having the book in the shot as well. That's nice. Good luck with the challenge!

[alia_801]

Great shot Anne! Really nicely composed, and good with the book too :)
I've made a discussion thread about the challenge now (link here: http://365project.org/discuss/general/8667/book-word-challenge) to make things easier :)

@mrssmith Carla- see alia's comment above- it has all the info!
@rogley8 Thanks Richard. It seemed appropriate to stick it in the first one so that everyone would know which book I was using.
@alia_801 Thanks Alia- this is going to be a fun one!

Nice composition

@crickle1969 Thanks Chrystal. This is going to be an interesting challenge.

wow. on my fifth day of the book-word-challenge, i also posted a photo of a map. yours has a different perspective though and you got the book in your photo also. i like this.

@summerfield Thank you Summerfield. Since it was the first shot from the first page, I thought it would be a good idea to put the book in it so everyone would know which book I was using. It's been interesting to see how differently everyone is approaching this. I'm staying close to the book, but others have just used it as a point of departure. Thanks for stopping by!
