This is a site based on a concept I hatched sometime ago. I’m a writer. Well, I pretend to be one from time to time. I’m not a photographer. However, there are pictures that just scream out to me with a hidden story. It’s a story that’s completely fabricated, but hey, it’s a story nonetheless.
Why make this?
I figure that I’m probably not alone in my aspirations to be a writer. There may be other secret writers out there looking for an outlet. In today’s time, it’s too hard to just sit and write a story without some sorta catalyst. Pictures tend to do it for me. I figure I can share my catalyst with others and see what they have to say. Plus, it’s just fun to see how people see different things in the same picture.
How does this work?
The concept is simple:
I pick a picture from the internet
I post it
We write a story for it.
Eventually, I’ll add additional functionality for commenting, making favorites, etc.
Who’s behind this?
That would be me, Tom Ortega. You can find out more about me on my blog.
