Alliteration in writing can be powerful. It’s a known fact that people embrace (and therefore, remember) repetitive sounds and images. My son would say that I find real comfort in repeating things; I think I am drawn to the stability of like objects all in a row — building blocks, bricks, bridge columns. My photography instructor once assigned a group of us to shoot as many examples of alliterative imagery as we could find in a three-hour class. I don’t remember how many photos I shot, but that class certainly trained my eye to look for them. So here I was, years later, outside Buckingham Palace, taking pictures of a fence.
