I’ve been trying to build up a portfolio of photos of pages where non-adjacent words would mean something together. These words were extracted from William Shakespeare’s works.
Shakespeare was not a stock photographer. Certainly he wasn’t a photographer; as for the stock part, it can be argued that he did not always write having a client in mind, so from this point of view, he was a sort of stock-writer.

From Act 4, Scene 1 of Shakespeare’s “King John”: the separate words “watch” and “out” are emphasized in red and may read as “Watch out!”. Focus on all the page only. Some vignetting added.
On a page of Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” (Act 4, Scene 1), the words “twice” and “think” are underlined in red, to suggest the “think twice!” sentence. Shallow depth of focus.
