Storytelling done in 50 ways…well not quite!

I am becoming quite the fan of flickr. I have always loved taking pictures and I appreciate the photos that other people take.  I love that pictures can say so much with no words at all.  In my spare time (which is quite limited these days) I like to scrapbook.  So when presented with the task of exploring some of the 50 tools to tell a story I naturally gravitated toward the flickr applications.  To go through the process you must join the flickr 6 words to tell a story.  After creating your picture with a 6 word story you submit your project and they judge it based on certain criteria.  Your story must be only six words in length and it must tell a story and not just be a title caption.  This is actually harder than it sounds.  Apparently Ernest Hemingwat was once challenged to write a complete story in six words.  He wrote…

For sale:Baby shoes, never used. 

And with those six words the story is complete.

Here is my six word story complete with picture.  Enjoy!
