Visual storytelling is something we’ve been doing for centuries (and longer). And the fact that we all now have ways to do this with the internet, cameras, and phones makes it all that much easier to connect and bring people closer together by sharing experiences and memories. “5 ways to impress your audience with visual content<\/a>” is a good summary of why and how visuals are just an intuitive way we can communicate. While it’s aimed at businesses and marketers, it’s a nice insight into what makes us tick – Facebook would be pretty boring without photos, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you like visual storytelling, why not check out this set of photos I put together for the See.Me photo competition<\/a>, an international photo competition about photos that tells stories. If you like them, click on “Collect Me” at the top right of the page – and if you have photos that tells stories, why not enter yourself?<\/p>\n

Just to end off, here are a few photos from a trip to Amsterdam last weekend – starting with a stereotypical photo (above) of cyclists freely riding around town and ending with a look at a famous beer brewery!<\/p>\n
