For #transliterations prompt #3.

This is the exercise:

"From foreign languages to traditional artwork to photography. The mechanical, the digital eye! This prompt will see us translating from one of the most accurate of mediums to one of the most abstract and insubstantial. How, you ask? Well. First, you'll choose one of the photos below--

<Imagine 5 photos here>


--or two, or more, if you feel like writing several pieces (and why not?) The point we're trying to make here is that one photo equals one literary submission.

Once you have your chosen photo, pick a direction. Left to right, up to down, diagonal--you choose. Then, translate the photo in that order. To take the photo of the miners as an example, you could write about each man in turn, left to right or right to left; or perhaps describe their heads, then their torsos, and so on, or even start from their feet and work up. The order things appear in your photo with your chosen direction is the order in which you will write."
