The Photographic Dictionary

For all you lovers of art look up The Photographic Dictionary:
" dedicated to defining words through the literal, figurative, and personal meanings found in each photograph."

It's a cool idea, especially since the words the artists have chosen would not necessarily be obvious choices and the definitions below them are both traditional and unusual. If you've got a shot to add, they accept photos. X, Y, and Z are particularly small lists.

I like breath, kiss, and citroen. Any of them strike your fancy?
