QuickWrite of the Day #50: Self-Portrait
Today’s QuickWrite of the Day:
The photoblog Humans of New York contains pictures of people with quotes and short stories from their lives (see example below). The photographer Brandon Stanton photographs people, interviews them and then selects a short quote to display with the picture.
With this in mind, take or choose a photo of yourself and conduct a self-interview. You might want to ask yourself:
What’s my personal connection to this photo?
What was I thinking/feeling at the time?
What was happening in my life at the time?
What questions spring to mind?
If someone were to have a daily glimpse into your life at that time, what would they see?
Look at your picture and write fast and freely. See what comes to mind!

Happy writing!
