What’s a Picture
Worth?
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Yes, it is cliché, but photographs can make great writing prompts.
Most of the trees have lost their leaves by now, but I
captured this peaceful autumn
scene last year. While the image is limited to the camera
lens, what you write about the picture is only limited by your imagination. The
photo I’ve included could have been taken in many different locations and lead
to various stories. It can evoke a river in an old-fashioned American village
or across the ocean on property at an estate in England. The water could be a meeting
place for WWII Resistance spies who must cross a border to escape their
enemies. Or perhaps, it’s the setting of a romantic rendezvous. What does it
make you think about? Write about it for five to ten minutes. Next week I’ll
tell you where the photo was taken!
