A Picture’s Worth . . . How Many Words? # 2

/ Gerry Wilson / Leave a comment

Here’s the second photo in the series that began a couple of weeks ago:  A Picture’s Worth  . . . How Many Words? (Click on the link to see the first one.)

The point? A prompt that’s the opposite of a photo challenge. Instead of finding or shooting a photo to suit the word/s, you bring the words to the photo.

Maybe it’ll trigger a memory or  prompt a story or poem.  The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination!

So jump in . . . Write about what’s happening in the picture. Write what came before. Write what comes after. Take it anywhere you like . . .

I would love to see what you do! Post your first 100 words or a few lines of a poem in a comment. Or share a link to a longer piece.

Happy writing!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Urban

For this challenge–urban, right here at home. Here’s a shot taken in our favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant. Pretty urban-sophisticated, don’t you think?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Merge

/ Gerry Wilson / Leave a comment

Here’s my response to the Weekly Photo Challenge.

The dictionary defines merge as “to combine to form a single entity.” Businesses merge. Roads merge. I also think of merge as a kind of blending, a more subtle transformation, but my example is bold—the result of trying out a new skill in Photoshop. Thanks, Rebecca Barray, for the inspiration!
