This Week’s FOCUS Assignment: Photography and Emotion

For this week’s FOCUS assignment, you will explain how the photo you took for your Emotion Photo Challenge matched up with the specific emotion you chose.

You will then compose a short poem of your own original creation that could accompany your image. Look at your image, then write a poem about that image. Things that you could write about would be a story that takes place inside the picture, or an abstract poem that reflects the overall mood of the picture.

Let go of the technical and hit me with the emotions you feel when you look at the picture you took for the emotion photo challenge.

Part 1: What is the connection between the emotion you chose and the picture you took for this emotion.

Part 2: Write an original poem or prose that mirrors the emotion you were going for. A piece of writing that could accompany the picture you took.

 

Three hundred word minimum…

This week’s focus assignment is due into my drop box before November 6th, 2009.
