Over at LBM, our colleague Alec says: “I recently purchased an album of photographs of a Westerner in Japan. I’m hoping to make this album into a storybook, but don’t have much of a story to work with. All I know is that the man’s name is Frank and that the pictures seem to be made in the 1950′s.”
“For each picture, we’re asking participants to write a short, paragraph-long story. This can be a factual description or imaginative speculation. Some of these submissions will be included in the final book.”
