Prompts for places

Describe the view before you took the photograph. Record a street name, trail marker, room number, local color, unusual sign, or the distance between two stops. Note what was outside the frame.

Prompts for people

Write down a phrase somebody repeated, a kindness from a stranger, a disagreement that became funny, or a child’s interpretation of the place. Identify people fully so the page remains understandable years later.
