One Picture Stories
A challenge for your photography: One Picture Stories. Combine short text with a single image that, together, convey a story greater than the sum of its parts. The text should not be about the image (as it is for In Focus articles), nor should the image directly illustrate the text. Instead, the image should amplify the thought or feeling the text describes. Complex and difficult, yes, hence the challenge.
To submit a jpeg image and text send it to . Please use our standard image file naming format (lastname_firstname_image-title.jpg).
