Sure, get a photo that you would want to create a typographical piece off and play around with a few filters in Photoshop (Stamp is a good one) until it you find the nice contrast/dark gaps to fill in. It would end up looking something like this [link]
Place it in the background and set the opacity/viability to something low like 20% - that way you can easily see what gaps to fill in with text. Think imaginative when filling in

Hey! Love your work! I actually wanted to ask if you can explain to me how you did this? Im new to graphic Design and I go to the art institute of Philadelphia and Im in this class typograpghy and they are asking us to take a quote and kind of make a picture out of type expressing with the type...being that i am new to this, i am so lost and I have no idea how to do it and its due this Weds!! Is there anyway you could help me? I wanted to use this quote:βFaces of type are like menβs faces. They have their own expression; their complexion and peculiar twists and turns of line identify them immediately to friends, to whom each is full of identity.β
β J.L. Frazier Let me know!! Thank you!

Um.. i don't really know any good type quotes but I do know that type/text works best when it is a part of the design/artwork, not when it is simply slapped over the top.
As for how I did this, it's quite simple actually 
good luck, link me to what you'll come up with
