The Friday Fictioneer Challenge: Write a 100-word story based on the photo.

Silhouette
Carol tried to hide behind her camera. Standing as far away as she could, hoping no one would notice, she photographed people as silhouettes, two-dimensional beings, dark contrasted against light.
Over time, however, her camera became her connection to people instead of a shield. The individuals she photographed often came up to her with comments and questions about her work, about her. To them, she wasn’t just a shadow.
Eventually, Carol reconsidered her tactics. Stepping out of the darkness, she approached people, asking permission to photograph them, finding a universe of uniqueness, a fullness detailed in her newly discovered light.

What a lovely idea. I think that merits being written fully as a longer story
“Over time, however, her camera became her connection to people instead of a shield.” Loved how that sentence changed everything!
Thats the way to do it, either as a writer or photographer
So much truth in this and reminder to shy people (like me) that there’s more than one way to make a connection. Beautiful story. Happy New Year!
