The Camera is the New Pen
If it’s true that a picture is worth 1,000 words, I won’t feel guilty about the recent lack of written content here at Loose Leaf Notes. After a weekend guest, some foster care respite work, a pile of interview notes to go through, and a full day of play and care giving with the grandkids; with the March issue of the Museletter hot off my kitchen table and the first seeds of cold weather greens in the cold frame, I’m feeling sort of speechless and find myself wondering ‘just where do paragraphs fit in a world of one sentence abbreviated-spelled tweets ?’

Colleen, I came up with 994 words to describe the “photo”, you gave us the “6” for the caption!

So close to 1000! I’d hate to text all that!

Texting makes my thumbs cramp.

As a poet I was never partial to paragraphs anyway.

ironically it’s as if a paragraph takes a lot longer because it has to be parsed out slowly in short sentences.

It’s a self-portrait. Let your pictures speak and have your audience come up with his/her own words.

I love this picture.
Even though I do tweet…I love paragraphs and pictures much more!
