I like it! I think you should try to get your blues more consistent though. If you set the camera to manual and manually set the white balance, you should find it helps.

Good effort though.

I like

The top two middle images have something distracting on the left of them though

richard misrach has done a book similar. one of my favorite photographers:

yours is more graphic tho.

have you thought about extending the project to cover different times of day? hows about setting your camera up pointing at one bit of sky and photographing it at regular intervals?

kind of like this: http://www.aperture.org/store/books-detail.aspx?ID...

Ok below is my attempt at making the blues more "similar"



and i have tried to create a lettering one. I still have a couple more so sit tight!

I think the first one is a bit better. The second one is great, well done. It's nice to see people trying something different. Have you tried cropping in a bit closer on some of the Hs? My obsessive compulsive side wants all the Hs to be the same size, but I don't know if it would work better or not!

Half those shop signs are within spitting distance of where I work!
