Be Inspired and Learn Something New
Stepping off from last week's prompt, consider that most journey's begin in the mind, where the sparks of ephemeral ideas surface before manifesting into form.
This week's prompt is all about the process of going from one state to another.
A transformation.
Whether transforming thought to action, or something more concrete like the changing of the seasons, we experience many transformations in our world every day.
Even something as simple as combining a few raw ingredients in just the right way to make a meal is a kind of transformation.
Some transformations flash before our eyes, while others go very slowly.
Everything in its own time.
What are some other ways you can photograph a transformation? How can you depict thoughts forming into matter?
Is it the before, the after, or somewhere in between?
Give it some thought this week and create some photos of what transformation means for you.
Last Week’s Prompt Photos for “Journey”
Last week we set out to photograph the many aspects of the journey, from the first footsteps, to the end of the road.
The bonus challenge for this prompt was to consider a goal for the coming year and to photograph a symbolic first step to get you walking towards that objective.
posted this image and impressions about his own journey for stepping out, tackling his fears, and finding his light. posted that “For me, it’s about showing up fully for my life, and not making decisions based on fear.”
Some journey’s take unexpected detours along the way, as in this image from Marjolein from a trip she took to Nepal.
These were a few more of our favorites from the week.
