So many fridays, so little time! But there's certainly enough time for everyone to enjoy some writing.

fotoFRIDAY recently celebrated it's 30th week anniversary! Way back on August 11th of 2006, fotoFRIDAY started inspiring dA writers with photography from artists here on dA-- and thirty weeks later, we've got more participation than ever. Keep writing, everyone! fotoFRIDAY is alive thanks to all of you.

On that happy note, there are a few contests being prepped for the middle of May; if you'd like to help by donating prizes or featuring winners, please note me at the *fotoFRIDAY account.

fotoFRIDAY is looking for another staff member! If you're a writer with some spare time on your hands and you're familiar with deviantART's news system as well as basic HTML, we could use some help with writing fotoFRIDAY's weekly result articles. If you're interested, don't be afraid to note the account for more information!


This week is another catch up article for fotoFRIDAY, presenting the last five weeks of fotoFRIDAY's results. What is fotoFRIDAY? The concept is simple: write a poem, story, or short sketch inspired by the given picture. You can use the picture as a major component of your writing or just a small sliver--there is no definite rule in that regard. Want to write about sunsets? Sunrises? Drunken escapades on the beach? Love? Sand? Cell phones? Religion? The influence of Kantian ethics on Nietzsche's reading of Kierkegaard’s interpretation of Cain and Abel? Go for it! The only limit is your own imagination. Consider this a weekly prompt to get those creative juices flowing.

After that, it's up to you to upload your writing as either a scrap or deviation in your gallery and paste the link in a comment to the fotoFRIDAY journal.


Interested? Check out the *fotoFRIDAY journal this Friday for a new prompt, or look at our reference page for more information (and stamps!).
