Spell-It-Out Photos, the Art of Lettering with Pictures
www.spellitoutphotos.com
Business owners Lynn McAuliffe and Sue Tenerowicz launched an e-commerce site last month that allows users to create words for display, using pictures of natural features that resemble letters. The eclectic photo gallery allows users to spell out and order names, inspirational words or ideas that they can display in their homes or offices.
On the web site users type their word (s), then the program lets them choose the picture they prefer to represent each letter. They can match them by texture, background color, natural or man-made, whatever strikes their fancy. The pictures are ordered either as is, in different sizes, or they can be shipped already framed. In their "other products" department the partners offer a countryside ABC poster, stationary and other pre-made assemblages.
"I've always seen letters in places you wouldn't expect," says Tenerowicz, the photographer of the team. "We have a lot of fun finding the letters," says McAuliffe, who is the graphics coordinator, "and Lamorinda residents are most likely to see something they recognize." Like the perfect 'i' provided by the Lafayette Reservoir Tower.
