Photo prompts for creative attention
Nine photo prompts for 2023. Answer each one with a single image.
Email pictures to michaeltimothywinters@gmail.com. You can include a caption in your email. Selected photos will be posted on instagram (@seekandfindphoto), and we’ll hope to cap off the year with a zine-style catalog and a gallery exhibit. More prompts coming in 2024.
