#105 - The Photograph
The prompt for this week is: Photograph. (Or you could shorten it to photo.) Describe one, take one, or show us one! Talk about what seeing that picture meant to you or use the prompt to create a character. Who is in it? What are they doing? Why does that particular picture matter? When people have to decide what they would grab in a fire, after living things they nearly always say photographs. Why? And what is so special about that one?

this was an archived one, but one i immediately thought of because no other photograph has ever captured me more. short story based on a stunning gregory colbert photo.
I've always intended to write something about this photo, which has haunted me for a long time. Thanks for giving me the impetus to begin typing like mad!
One of my Cass Nova detective thrillers this week, plus a short essay on dieting.
He is always on my mind!

Some mild nostalgia prompted by an old black & white photograph: back then in ca. 1959
Sometimes, it's the viewer, not the photograph, with the story.
A self-portrait. :)
Thanks to Rebecca and that gorgeous soulful photograph...
Oh the possibilities!!
A photo you have never seen before.

This is not my photo, so decided to write mirror nonets on wishing it could be and why.

Okya, mine includes two photographs, and it wasn't exactly inspired by the prompt. But my main blog is something of a photo blog, so I couldn't resist the chance to link to this weekend's post.
I loved the concept of Sunday scribblings and would like very much to be a part of it.
Thank you for yet another great prompt!!
Memories are often relived through photographs
If you look really closely at the right side of this photo you can see the blackbird..the eagle is visable in the center...fun prompt and perfect as I wanted to post about this all week! Thanks!
Thanks for a great prompt, it was exactly what my story needed!
More than meets the eye.
So many photos, so little time! Great prompt.
very short but very heartfelt
Both my scribblings and accompanying photo are up.
I can't wait to start reading everyone's take on this. :-)
It is my first time participating, but this was the perfect prompt for me.
I had a really hard time choosing a photo, but opted for a little bit of family history in the end.
Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. I would have to come back to this over and over again. So I didn't go there at all

My contribution is my photo study of mailboxes in Maine. However, just below that is Angus Bosio. You'll see what I mean.
I could spend the rest of my life working with this prompt!

An arty nature photo by me, and a little peace that speaks to men who know peace through wild places.

Scribbler,
Made it with 3 hours to spare here on the east coast of the USA.
A picture or a thousand words? You guess, or come on over and see for yourself.

I had to start this post over again, it was hard for me to get through for some reason.
This one's short. I had a few false starts with it.

This was a hard one. The pain is still so fresh.
Holy Freakin Cow....one hundred eleven???
Congratulations...this is great. Kudo's to you both for such a great blog - and to everyone who participates, because of you it now takes me 4 hours to get through my RSS list!
This has been fun. I can't wait until the next prompt.....
