Please post your blog response to the story here. You can feel free to respond in any substantive way you choose (that means going beyond superficiality: likes, dislikes, summary, et cetera; none of that will be acceptable or given credit), but some starting points to consider are the structure of the story, the way in which it plays with and against the genre of science fiction, the effect and themes of the story, the language and craft, et cetera.
Anything less than 250 words will not receive credit.

Response to "The Photographer" by Alice Munro
Feel free to respond in whatever (substantive) fashion you wish to the Alice Munro story! If you're at a loss, some things you might want to think about are how the story deals with the act of storytelling, the line between fact and fiction, and agency between characters and landscape.
Once again, avoid trite comments such as whether you liked the piece or not. As opposed to speculating whether you would or would not have cut something from the story, address the piece entirely on it's own terms--everything here is here for a reason. If you miss something's significance, it is definitely worthwhile thinking about why that didn't resonate with you.
