Gathering of toes

I started a polaroid journal this week. The land camera is a challenge to learn due to its specific demands with lighting. But when the images come out right, they provoke and prod the meandering words in my brain. It feels good, real good, just to let them fly onto the page. It can't be about spewing profundities or the words would be unyielding. It's creating just to create, that's all I really need :).

Bella's prompt this week is "Handwriting"...

  4. Yes I tend to agree, the polaroid will evoke alot of emotions, then thoughts to paper. This is why I love it so!

  17. It sometimes is so helpful to have an image to refer to to get those creative juices flowing. I remember discovering that process in high school for a writing project for English class. Somehow, it was easier to write (for me) when I saw something.
