Never before in history has a man of my beauty been so prone to nerdom.
Ever since I was five or six years old I've thought about going around Milwaukee, photographing all the remaining billboards painted on the side of brick buildings.
For all I know this is a universal phenomenom, but they've disappeared in the last quarter century here.
My goal, therefore, was to record them for all time in a coffee table book before the elements destroyed them.
As it is, this is the only one I've ever shot, taken today while driving with the girls.

Sounds to me like you need others to help.
Love it! Great idea.
It's a super idea! People take photos of the strangest things for the strangest reasons. Old fading signs of days gone past is perfect.
Pam - If I ever get around to finishing that project all hold you to your promise.
sepintx - Love your pics, thanks for spotlighting me on your journal.
I think any project that uses a camera is simply wonderful. I think it is a cool idea and I am jealous that I did not think of it. Sioux
I'm pleasantly surprised at the interest my idea has generated . . . it's got me thinking. On a separate tack, it's also gotten me wondering why these itsy bitsy posts generate so much more commentary than the posts I spend hours on. :)
A great idea and I am sure, something that your community would appreciate. Lisa
