What is it: What’s in a name? A whole lot, especially if it’s yours! In honor of everyone’s favorite word, this photo challenge is dedicated to finding or making an image of your first name.
We were inspired by this challenge’s guest editor Marc Horowitz, whose Signature Series project has taken the name game to a whole new level. Marc signed his name on a US map and then drove the route marked by his signature. Along the way, he “improved” 19 towns that fell along his signature’s path. These “improvements” include starting an Anonymous Semi-Nudist Colony in Nampa, Idaho and burying an entire town’s problems in Craig, Colorado.
For this photo challenge, please stick to your FIRST name, and represent it photographically in a way that best expresses you.
This photo challenge will be open for one week and will close on August 27.
Why: They invited me to do it.
Have fun!!!!

Since I released the commercial for my high school, all my old HS friends have been hitting me up on facebook. Here is by far the best message string:
John sent you a message.
Subject: MarC and C is For Castle. (Whatever) lol
Quick question…
Do you remember throwing a chair at me from the 5th floor balcony at the Edgewater resort in Panama City beach?
Until recently that was my last memory of you.
Funny stuff…
My Reply: wow!!! No I don’t remember doing that! Did it hit you? That sounds xxxtreme!
John sent you a message.
Re: MarC and C is For Castle. (Whatever) lol
“Really, we were walking through the parking lot to the beach. Whoever you were staying with was yelling up at you. We started yelling with him, and then you appeared on the balcony, looked down at us and then threw a chair. It broke. We ran. As we were running away security was running towards the chair. It was fucked-funny…”

Went back to my Alma mater, Castle High School, in Paradise, Indiana and made a commercial promoting my HS! 8th graders, you should definitely watch this and consider attending Castle High!

As you may know, I signed my name on a US map and then drove that route. Along the way I “improved” 19 towns that fell along my signature’s path.
For this particular “improvement,” I went to Memphis, Tennessee and asked the locals “Whaddaya Love?” Turns out that Tennesseans are very loving people.
I absolutely encourage you folks to do this very project in your hometown!! Tell me about it if you do!!
Love,
Marc

I really hate talking about dreams. I know how it can get super annoying, but this one was all out crazy.
I had the craziest dream about being on the wing of a plane as it was taking off. I went up in the air as it was taking off; somehow, within a few minutes, I found myself in the plane playing euchre with a bunch of old ladies. They kept trying to feed me stale PB&J sandwiches and raisins. I politely refused. I think they got offended or something cause all the sudden they started exhaling all these bizarre colored gases at me – it was like they had color fog machines in their mouths.
The colored gas quickly filled up the cabin, so I hit the ground and gasped for some fresh air. The carpet was thick moss green shag, and I thought it would make more oxygen if I rubbed my face in it. That’s all I remember.
Dreams are weird, and so is the fact that I saw a dog that looked like John Candy on my run this evening. Yes I have seen Spaceballs; but truly, I saw a dog that looked like him.

This is a good one for all you mural lovers. I went to Liberal, Kansas and painted a mural of the future of the town based on what the residents told me they wanted to see.
