I saw this image on the side of a mailbox in Geneva and it planted the seed for MyPiction in my head. Looking at the picture got me imagining all kinds of crazy stories: a new age Orwellian Animal Farm, Parisian shark mafia and Pixie the intellectual poodle. This was just one picture igniting an instant flurry of story ideas. It made me think about the giant repository of images on the web—don’t you sometimes wonder why people have certain expressions on their face or what brought them to a particular location in that picture?
Welcome to MyPiction… a place for answers to these very questions! Become part of a community for storytellers and visual thinkers—better known as pictioners. At MyPiction, we gather provoking imagery from around the web in response to which pictionerswrite micro-stories. By micro-stories we mean restricting your stories to 700 characters in length.
Some might call this flash fiction while others may use MyPiction as a writing tool to develop the art of visual thinking. If the thought of being a writer seems daunting, you can use MyPiction to share memories with family and friends—but we at MyPiction like to think there is a writer in each one of us. Try writing a short story, a haiku, a poem or even a caption.
