Photography: "a term which comes from the Greek words photos (light)
and graphos (drawing). A photograph is made with a camera by exposing film
to light in order to create a negative. The negative is then used in the
darkroom to print a photograph (positive) onto light-sensitive paper.

Poetry: "a form of speech or writing that harmonizes the music of its
language with its subject. To read a great poem is to bring out the perfect
marriage of its sound and thought in a silent or voiced performance. At
least from the time of Aristotle's Poetics, drama was conceived of as a
species of poetry."

Journal: " "Though a journal may be many things - a treasury,
a storehouse, a jewelry box, a laboratory, a drafting board, a collector's
cabinet, a snapshot album, a history, a travelogue..., a letter to oneself
- it has some definable characteristics. It is a record, an entry-book,
kept regularly, though not necessarily daily.... Some (entries) will be
nearly illegible, written in the dark in the middle of the night.... Not
only is it a record for oneself, but of oneself. Every memorable journal,
any successful journal, is honest. Nothing sham, phony, false...." (Dorothy
Lambert from Ken Macrorie's book, Writing to be Read )
A journal is a way to keep track of your thoughts about what you read...
as well as what you did on any given day."
