1. Find a photograph. It could be an image from a magazine or a family photo or any other image.

2. Spend some time looking at it.

3. Put it away and write about everything you saw. Be sure to ask yourself these questions:

Where does the light come from?

What time of day was it?

What was happening before this?

. . . and after this?

What did the air feel like?

What time of year was it?
