It's amazing how much writing and photography have in common. <br /><br />LOL. I work hard to make sure my photos are free from unwanted clutter. Now I'm learning to do the same with my writing. ;)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-22668769841459747932010-04-17T16:28:23.105-06:002010-04-17T16:28:23.105-06:00I really like how you have compared your photograp...I really like how you have compared your photography with your writing. And how you found that the way you do photography is reflective of the way you do your writing. My photos tend to be off centre with horizons and bridges not running straight lines. Now I'm asking myself if I do that in my writing too! I also would enjoy seeing your tombstone pictures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-37554249157593973332010-04-16T19:54:14.224-06:002010-04-16T19:54:14.224-06:00Interesting comparison--tells you something about ...Interesting comparison--tells you something about yourself, I'm sure!<br /><br />I think description is tricky--too much is distracting, too little can be dry, but the right amount fuels the story better than any inner monologue can.Jennifer @ Fruit of My Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479983078312955832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-16066234286674067552010-04-16T17:41:41.763-06:002010-04-16T17:41:41.763-06:00I think taking pictures like you do might help tak...I think taking pictures like you do might help take your descriptions in stories to another level, just like the pictures. I never thought about it that way before. I tend to struggle with descriptions and have to force them out.
