A person's hands hold a smartphone, positioned vertically, recording a video. The phone screen shows a man and a woman in light-colored clothing dancing. In the background, slightly out of focus, is a woman in a striped dress, smiling and appearing to be posing or dancing. Light-colored curtains are visible behind her. The person holding the phone has several bracelets on their wrist and rings on their fingers.

A cell phone, likely a smartphone, is mounted on a selfie stick, extending upwards against a clear, gradient blue sky. The sky is lighter blue towards the bottom, transitioning to a darker, deeper blue at the top. The phone is held in a light pink or purple holder, and the stick itself is dark. The sun appears to be hitting the phone and holder from the side, creating a slight glint and highlighting their form against the smooth background of the sky.
Writing PromptsSinister SelfieMoriah Richard
A medium shot of a person with dark braided hair wearing glasses and a light-colored dress, sitting at a white desk and working on a laptop. The person is indoors, positioned between two large windows that provide a view of trees. A Golden Pothos plant is visible in a white pot on the left side of the desk, and another plant is in a white pot on a windowsill to the right. A calculator and other items are also on the desk. The scene is brightly lit by natural light.
Writing PromptsThe Remote WorkerMoriah Richard
A close-up photograph of a duck, likely a mallard, with its head and neck in focus. The duck has a mottled gray and brown head and neck, with a dark bill. Several small, fluffy ducklings are clustered around the adult duck. They are in a body of water with a slightly blurred, green and brown background. The water's surface reflects the surrounding foliage.
Writing PromptsMotheringMoriah Richard
A high-angle, medium shot photograph captures a large crowd of people marching down a city street. The crowd is dense, and many individuals are holding up signs, some of which are partially visible. A bridge or overpass crosses the street overhead, with a line of police officers standing on it, observing the crowd. Street signs for "4th St" are visible at an intersection. The overall scene suggests a protest or demonstration.
Writing PromptsTaking a StandMoriah Richard
A close-up photograph of a person's hands woodworking. The person is using a tool to shape a piece of wood that is mounted on a lathe. Wood shavings are flying off the wood as it is being worked. The person is wearing a red shirt, and only their hands and forearms are visible.
Writing PromptsThe CraftMoriah Richard
A close-up photograph of a red DoorDash insulated delivery bag sitting on the ground. The bag is textured with a quilted pattern and has two handles. The DoorDash logo is visible in white on the lower part of the bag. The ground is covered with pine needles and small branches, suggesting an outdoor setting. The background is slightly blurred, with a building or wall visible. The lighting is natural, casting a soft shadow behind the bag.
Writing PromptsDoorDash DumpedMoriah Richard
A medium shot photograph of two people sitting at a table in a dimly lit room, silhouetted against a bright window. The room has a high ceiling with exposed beams and a dark, industrial aesthetic. The two people are seated facing each other, engaged in conversation or working on something at the table. They appear to be indoors, possibly in a cafe or workspace, with large windows providing a stark contrast between the dark interior and the bright outside light. The image emphasizes the silhouettes of the people and the architectural details of the room.
Writing PromptsThe Ghost ConfrontedMoriah Richard
A medium shot photograph of a group of young children walking away from the viewer, their backs facing the camera. They are wearing colorful clothing and backpacks, and many have hats on. They appear to be walking in a line on a paved surface, possibly a sidewalk or courtyard, with a few adults visible in the background. The scene is brightly lit, suggesting daylight. The children’s clothing and the outdoor setting imply a casual, possibly school or outing-related context.

A close-up photograph of a yellow neon sign displaying the words "smell," "taste," and "touch," stacked vertically. Each word is separated by a horizontal yellow neon line. The background is a slightly darker, textured surface, possibly a wall, with a subtle sheen. The neon tubes are bright and emit a warm yellow glow.

A close-up photograph of a single blade of green grass growing in sandy soil. The grass blade is thin and stands upright, with a slightly pointed tip. The sand is a light brown color and appears textured, with small grains visible. The background is blurred, creating a shallow depth of field and emphasizing the grass blade. The overall tone is minimalistic and serene.
