I took a lot of
photos in 2016. Below are a few from this past year.
I use the natural world as
an inspiration for my writing.
You know the old
saying that a picture is worth a thousand
words, right?
As a writer, I
think that a picture can produce or inspire a
thousand words.
Sometimes I keep a
photo up on part of my desktop when I’m writing, or I’ll click back and forth
between a photo and my manuscript. For my characters, sometimes I use photos to
help me create moods, tap into emotions, and inspire actions.

You live in a beautiful part of the world, Paul. Thank you for sharing some of its wonders! Happy 2017 to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael. I hope you have a great holiday!!
DeletePaul, I always enjoy your beautiful and reflective photos of the Alaskan wild! And I can see in your writing how this is reflected. When writing setting, I often go to a place that reminds me of it (the woods, a lake, a mountain, etc) and walk and record (video and audio) what I see and feel all around me. It helps put me in the moment and that place I am writing about. Keep sharing yours!
ReplyDeleteI do some video and audio recording as well. I hope 2017 is full of great recording moments for you. :-)
DeleteThis pictures are incredible! I'm hoping you took the bear shots with a looooong telephoto lens.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Caroline!!! Yes, I was a safe distance away from the bears!!
DeleteLove your pictures, Paul!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea!!
DeleteWow! Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteI've been part of a poetry Friday group for these last two years. Every Friday, the coordinator sends a word and an image prompt. Yes, sometimes an image/picture can inspire 1000 words and more.
