Photo Prompts

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.
Writing PromptsAn Influential DayMoriah 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 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.
