October Leaves
Science fiction author Michael Swanwick wrote a short story last fall, one word at a time, on autumn leaves.
I photographed the leaves where I found them — in parks and cemeteries and city streets — and then left them where they lay, possibly to be found by puzzled passers-by. To indicate paragraph breaks, I used photos of gravestones from historic Laurel Hill Cemetery.
The story is available for free in a Flickr set, but if you want a physical copy you can purchase one at Blurb.
This technique could be used for other things, too; I love the idea of a party invitation or other message being conveyed through photographs of leaves.
