Sparks are seeds of life woven within life. They flare our curiosity, driving it to the new and wonderful. We take these and run with them.
Spark words aren't meant to be strict boundaries. I offer them as suggestions because I know how easily ruts take over photography. Even if you change the subject of your photos, you can still hit plateaus. How is this true?
Photographers tend to rush a scene if they're not careful. They aim the camera in the same way each time. Their angles are similar. Lines follow a well set pattern.
Take the spark word and use it for subject selection as well as composition opportunities. Use it to challenge yourself as a photographer. Take the word change. What does it mean? Perhaps you could snap a shot of someone putting away summer clothes or making a pot of chili. We eat different foods in the fall than we do in the summer. That's a change.
We dress with different clothes, change our activity list and even act in new ways. All of these can be paths to use the spark word change. It's not just what we detect with our senses; it's more than watching the leaves or feeling the nip in the air. Let the spark words stir your imagination and see how interesting life can be!
