I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reading about story-telling lately (see my recent book reviews) and want to find more ways to use and promote ‘story-telling’ in my work and my side-projects. I am a big believer in the utility and power of pictures to elicit stories (and memories, opinions etc) so I’ve made myself a set of picture cards and am quite pleased with the result.

Mostly the images are (creative commons licensed content) from Flickr (with a couple of my own photos included) which I had printed as 6×4 photos at Officeworks (for 10c per print). I recorded the Flickr attribution on the reverse of each photo and laminated them, and now have this great set of 33 cards (which I’ll keep adding to).
