Writing Prompt (courtesy of Amanda Zieve)
Consider the Light. Choose a natural scene or photo that involves some interesting light. What does this image evoke for you? What setting or exchange could take place in this type of light or with this light as a background? Bonus if you examine the properties of the light, such as: direction, color, edge (soft vs. sharp), and how that contributes to the mood of the photo (or thing) that you are looking at.
