Wordplay: One Word, One Picture

Uncategorized by Jann Alexander

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But what if you could illustrate just one word with just one photo? Here are a selection of images from the Pairings archive that do just that, following the Rule of One: One picture, one word.

Jann Alexander

As a creative professional, I find my ideas in exploring and recording life's details—as I've done in writing my Dust series historical novel, Unspoken, and its predecessor, A Habit of Hiding. My photography focus is the scenic gumbo that is my Vanishing Austin series, and the many other thematic photography collections I've created. In my paintings, I capture the colors of the American southwest and Mexico. For my blog on creativity, Pairings, I explore art, writing, and photography in Texas and beyond, and sometimes indulge in time travel. I bring it together at JannAlexander.com, where my writing and art meets tech.

WOW! I *love* all of these! What a fun idea, too. If I had to choose a fave, it would be Juxtaposition – but I think they are all excellent. I am going to share this on my Facebook page & on StumbleUpon, too. Glad you shared this!

~Tui, @TuiSnider dropping by via #Archive Day on Twitter! 🙂
