So this is what I did in class today. I really like where this is going and I am having a lot of fun, which I feel is very important to keep this experiment going:) My issue I am toying with now is how I can make this more digital, such as vector? I really enjoy the black and white photography and the reflection of the glass so I am wondering how to carry this traits into a digital form. I would also like to add some color to these, and my next step is to print my letterforms on transparencies so I do not have the white paper in the negative space of my letterforms. Super exciting!!!!

what's nice about these is their analog/photographic nature. there is some sharpness, some depth-of-field blur, that you can't do with vector art. i would try to capitalize as much as possible on the analog nature of your setup and save the vector work for another set of experiments. maybe you try to duplicate a few of your more successful ones from this batch as illustrator drawings. then you can compare the two images.
here are the pics i think are the most intriguing:
row 1, pic 4
row2, pics 2, 4
row 3, pics 4, 5
same as in your earlier post, the more abstracted ones are better, or the ones that are just barely recognizable as a specific letter.
try the single letter on a full white sheet and these will clean up a lot. maybe even put white posterboard on the top so you don't get the ceiling reflection.
i'm not sure what they are...but they are really nice. keep on exploring!
