Here’s why you need this workshop:
Your personal photos are whispering to you–they have deeper stories to tell. Your photos hold the stories only you can write. In this writing workshop, you’ll write from personal photos that arrest your attention and unpack why they do. I encourage writers of all levels and backgrounds to open boxes of old photos from the attic or your photo stream, to select arresting personal photos and discover, through creative writing, how to mine the deeper meaning of your image and put it into words. I believe the photos we save and the photos we take show what we care about and hope to preserve, what moves and mystifies us, the people, places, stories and experiences that bring meaning into our lives. Writing stories from your photos allows you to approach your pictures as works of art – no matter the quality of the photo, you can approach the image with an artist’s perception and awareness of powerful hidden meanings and revelations worthy of development into journal entries, letters to a loved one, as well as many kinds of creative prose and poetry. Writing from your photos allows you to express the truth of what you feel - and know - and haven’t said, as you capture the beauty and deeper meaning of an image. Being in a workshop with other writers initiates fun, interesting, creative and powerful conversations that connect you to your spirit and nurtures friendships and camaraderie with others. Writing in a workshop deepens your creative writing practice and brings a lively sense of anticipation and self-expression into your days.
