Stuart rambles on about photography in all its 21st century manifestations and forms. This includes his passions such as black and white analogue photography. Other interests include his cameras, from his humble phone camera up to his 5x4 monorail. He prattles on about printing in his darkroom and let's not forget his many digital photo projects. Other interests include photo book publishing. Finally as a bit of a geek he ruminates on iPhone apps software and the Internet in general, as well.

Photographic Storytelling: A Poverty of Theory

I read this article over on Medium, Photographic Storytelling: A Poverty of Theory by Lewis Bush.

"...why there is such a poverty of theory about storytelling in photography compared to other fields, and why there is so little precision about the terms and techniques we use. Why, for example, are so few photographers able to differentiate between such fundamentally different things as story and narrative."

Definitely food for thought.

The narrative is what is missing from your writing about photography.
