Tell a story in 5 frames (Visual story telling)
Check out a great site/community within the Flickr website: http://www.flickr.com/groups/visualstory/ as the title suggests participants are challenged to create stories and submit them for review in only 5 frames. Good stuff.

Wow! Visual Storying at a very basic (read accessible) level! Mike Z needs to see this.
Here are their "guidelines."
A good story has characters in action with a beginning, middle, and an ending. Fortunately a lot of information can be given in a single photograph, enhancing the limitations of five photographs for your story. Location, time, and atmosphere aid viewer imagination. Keep standards of pictorial beauty, but pack as many story telling elements in one photograph as possible to develop an action.
1st photo: establish characters and location.
2nd photo: create a situation with possibilities of what might happen.
3rd photo: involve the characters in the situation.
4th photo: build to probable outcomes
5th photo: have a logical, but surprising, end.
