fotoFRIDAY XLVI: An Event


At first glance the story in this week's picture seems obvious, but some of the best photographs are the ones that stick with you and make you question what the picture is really about. Is this simply a freeze-frame of one moment in time, or are there stories lurking just beyond the lens? As with most things, it becomes a matter of perspective. For our forty-sixth week, *fotoFRIDAY challenges you to think outside the box and create something unique using this excellent photograph as inspiration:


About the Band

*IgorLaptev


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? Cell phones? Religion? Choices? 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.

See how easy that is? Then why are you still reading this? Get writing!

Entries for this week's prompt are due 12:00AM (EST) on Wednesday, August 1, 2007.
