photo-inspiration from afar

There is a time when we get so desensitized to our surroundings and need to look to afar for inspiration. Well, if you can't travel, we'll bring the inspiration to you.

You will be assigned one partner. You will email your partner:

1. a digital photo...any photo taken by you. It can be of people, objects, surfaces, etc. Please do not provide a title or description with the photo. Please ensure that the file names are not descriptive either! It will be up to your partner to create the context.

2. when you receive a photo, you have six weeks to build a poem, song, scene, short story or prose (anything!) around it. You will then email your work back to photo sender. There are no page/line limits because many might find them a hindrance to creativity. Just make sure to send your writing out within six weeks!

This will help challenge us into thinking creatively and offer a peek into how other people may see images we send them. Have fun!
