The Photographic Dictionary
June 13, 2009 // Photography

As I was stumbling around the web I came across The Photographic Dictionary. Taken directly from their About section, “The Photographic Dictionary is dedicated to defining words through the literal, figurative, and personal meanings found in each photograph.” So you’re presented with an alphabet, and in each alphabet are a list of words, and under each word is a photo and the definition of the word. A lot of the time I was surprised what the photo would be under each word, which is what makes the site so great. I definitely got lost in this site, and I’ll be checking in again in about a month to see what’s new.

I of course chose ‘Fox’ as my example photo, which was taken by Andrea Penisto, an Italian photographer.
