Brainstorming Session: Photo Series: Five Images

Strong-1-4.jpg

Take 10 minutes. Write down as much as you can during that time.  Keep your hands typing or your pen moving the entire time. Write down whatever comes to mind, follow your mind’s direction, don’t try to steer it one way or another. Stick with each image and describe it as closely as you can.

Now  imagine your life, at the end of it, you have five images with which to share your existence on this earth. What would those five images look like? It could be the life you always wanted, it could be five images that convey to the world exactly how you feel about the world? It could be really showing the world who you are.

What images come to mind? IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, share what you wrote by pasting the results in to the comment section of THIS POST.
