Accepting Submissions: {PHOTOGRAPH} Writing Prompt

Do you ever get lost in your old photographs? Looking through those snapshots in time and wondering: Were things really simpler back then? And why did anyone let you out of the house with with that haircut? And what ever happened to your best friend from the third grade?

So much is captured in a simple photograph. And today, you don’t even have to open up your albums or get your film developed. You can just open your phone and voila! Photos abound!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I think they’re underselling it. And, besides! We’re not even asking for that many.
