The genre of images that make you wonder about their back story is one of the beautiful convergences of writing and photography. These images make your eye linger, make your mind wonder, and make your creative genie start imagining,
writing, their back story. If you are a photographer, many times you strive to create these images since that bit of mystery and interest is the defining element of great images in this genre. If you are a writer, you can't help but linger on these images, feast your eyes, wonder and create a story for them. The images tell a story, but more importantly, they let
you tell a story.
These are but a few of the many wonderful images that have this magical quality. Feast your eyes and your creativity.
Kara, thanks for including my photo amongst these wonderful images. There is so much to be gained by studying the work of others, it's an excellent learning opportunity. But the fun comes from considering what the back story might be. We take what the photographer has given us and build on it. The possibilities are endless. Great post Kara. Ed
ReplyDeleteSome amazing pictures here, Kara! But the one I love most of all is your header pic, of the country lane (up above at the top). I love the autumn colours, and the way that road draws your eyes to follow it...a great image all round! :)
