ABSTRACT

Take some photographs of clouds that you see as equivalents and have friends independently title them, and then compare their titles with titles you may have given the photographs.

11. Visual Metaphors Look over some of your photographs and write a sentence or two describing them metaphorically. Example: A photograph of a scenic view of hills and valleys with a highway rambling through it might be described in this way: “The highway is a serpent sliding over and around the landscape” or, simply, “The highway carpets the land.” As a variation, find a poetic sentence or a metaphor that speaks to you and try to find its photographic equivalent.
