I wanted to jump in and explore it. Looking at it reminded me also of an exercise I do in my Through and From the Lens Telecourses, where I have participants put themselves, proportionately-sized, into a photo and explore, in writing, the feelings of all the surfaces and spaces.<br /><br />Then in looking at the two flowers here, my tulips, your magnolia, I was struck by a few contrasts (per one of the themes you mention in your post) - the contrast between the openness of the magnolia and the closed, protected feeling projected by the tulips.<br /><br />I then considered the <b>contrast</b> in the sizes of the enlargements, so I did a larger version - see <a href="http://www.eteletours.com/EZINE/tulip-2-800pix.jpg" rel="nofollow">Purple Tulip</a> to see the almost, same-size contrast.<br /><br />I&#39;ll refrain from further commenting, leaving that contrast a blank slate for your visitors.<br /><br />Thanks again. <br /><br />Inspirationally,<br />SheilaSheila Finkelsteinhttp://www.sheilafinkelstein.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439972021658319544.post-87336319220102768292008-09-23T17:24:00.000-07:002008-09-23T17:24:00.000-07:00About a year ago I found a transparency of a woman staring out a window. (It wasn't even a great artwork or anything, but I decided to put it on the overhead- which I have used ONCE in 22 years of teaching.) <BR/>As a result, my 8th graders did not want to stop writing. They wrote stories, poems, and essays that were clever and insightful.<BR/>The fact is that I need the classroom time. The time to be able to say, "Look, think, and write about this picture." <BR/>Life in the classroom doesn't always provide for that, but you've inspired me to work harder for those moments.<BR/>The simple strategies are the best.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09630262224739505223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439972021658319544.post-38802311911685838462008-08-16T11:47:00.000-07:002008-08-16T11:47:00.000-07:00I have used a copy of a photograph from the Viet Nam era, adn was shocked that none of my students recognizing it.<BR/><BR/>I am, however, about to launch into the photo age and writing.<BR/><BR/>I recently experienced the wonder of flying on a B17 with a great new camera; I will use these to teach "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner"<BR/><BR/>I will also use photos in a creative writing class. I have never taught this, but am excited at the possibilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439972021658319544.post-48660654486560170372008-07-16T11:37:00.000-07:002008-07-16T11:37:00.000-07:00I'm really enjoying reading your observations and comments. This week's blog includes some great ideas for using photos to inspire writing. It makes me want to drag out old photos of my own and start writing memoirs! And the story about eggs and honey was a hoot!
