This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is to reflect on the idea of storytelling, with one picture or a few. Jen’s essay Story on the subject is lovely and if you are a photographer who blogs, perhaps you should look it over.
The idea of storytelling has more than one meaning. The ancient idea of a story is a great deed, and, now in recent times, many variations on story exist including the marketing idea. A brand should engage its audience by telling a story, by representing itself as sometimes a great notion that people can feel involved in what the brand is about and how it functions in the space of marketing. If people trust a brand’s “story,” they want to be a customer of the brand as it belongs to the space understood by both the storytellers and by the consumers.
If you watch Stranger Things, you know that the Dungeons & Dragons player who organizes game sessions is referred to as the “Dungeon Master.” Being a blogger is a little like being a Dungeon Master because you are organizing some kind of storytelling effort for other people to read and otherwise consume.
For this week’s Photo Challenge, I am telling a story visually with what is a popular visual form of storytelling, comic books. They turned up in the kitchen of the church where I work and they belonged to family years ago, which I borrowed informally on the suggestion of my father, who noticed they were there.

I picked a couple of these that I did read when I was a kid and a couple more that reflect the interests I had as a kid. I hope you like the photo I have taken, and that if you see this, you relate to how it is to come across something from the past that is a nice memory.
Blurring a photo is a normal aspect of photography and the blur in this photo was done with the camera. The photo hasn’t been blurred by software.
Your style is very unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from.
Thank you for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just book
mark this blog.
