26,000 Plus Words


As the old adage goes, “A picture’s worth a thousand words.”  On the other hand, the word PHOTOS offers a mere 11 Scrabble tile points.  






How about photos of famous people with their typewriters?  How many words would they be worth?

Earlier this month LIFE magazine published a photo essay entitled, “In Praise of the Typewriter.” Two-time E2MQ winner, Dorian Adams of Sonoma, directed us to this collection of 38 extraordinary pictures of writers and actors addressing their typewriters.  We were inspired.

Today’s E2MQ offers 26 similar photos, marked A to Z, and asks you to identify as many of these people as you can.  Some are easy and others, well, not so easy.  Give it a try!

    E might have had something to say about Syfy.

    S might have had something to say about AskJeeves.com.

    J might just have said, Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
