The prompt this week over here is Switch (as indicated above). As usual, images came to mind when I read it. I had to figure out how to convey the instant mental pictures, the meanings of the word to me, to others. I wasn't sure how I would do that.
All that is typical reaction to prompts.
I happened to acquire a photo of my grandmother this week. I created a high-resolution scan of the photo to "clean it up." I had already written my 100 word story, so the text for an image was somewhat in my mind. I had the photo in my editing software... The next thing I knew, I was working on my entry. I made a few different version. I ended up with two that I kind of liked.
One the focus was more on the words.
The other focused a more on the woman.
Both, I'd say, were topical.
I couldn't choose which I liked. So, I shared them with a friend. She chose the second, saying it was easier to read.
I still had another image in my mind though. Another meaning that was just as strong. It was a different kind of switch.
"Picking a proper switch isn’t always easy."
To my knowledge, only one entry per challenge per person is allowed. So I went with my grandmother, smaller lettering. If I could though, I'd also contribute the "Proper Switch."

{Edit: Whiskey has informed me that more than one entry is allowed. "Proper Switch" shall be submitted as well. Yesh!}
