Writer’s Block

Frequently on Twitter people ask for ways to get through writer’s block…

Here’s a suggestion I make. Describe your photos so someone like myself who is blind can understand what is happening in them.

The small pink cyclamen, hunkered at the base of the hedgerow, shakes like a defiant fist behind a barricade of grass and autumn leaves as the cars speed by a few feet away on the Hertford Road.

I took this photo almost a year ago can you imagine it from my description.

Even better add the description in the information area of the photo in your photo library then copy and paste the description when sharing on social media.

This is a screenshot of the photo with its description and other information (date/ time if I scrolled down it also has the technical camera information and a map showing the location but that hides the photo which is why I didn’t take a screenshot of it). On my iPhone it also gives an option to look up information on the internet for Sowbread an alternative name for cyclamen.

“How do I add photo descriptions on Social Media?” I hear you ask.

And I will explain in a series of posts for each platform I use.
