The story of the three chairs

Once upon a time there were three chairs. They sat in the street outside a restaurant. They were placed outside so customers could rest while waiting.

Hmm, adequate beginning. When did this happen? …Who were the characters? …Where were they? What were they doing? …Why?

A photograph should tell a story.

A story should get the five wh’s (Who, what, where, when and why) cleared up early on.

And that is where so many photographs just stop.

Like this one. Its story needs to be finished.

What happened next? How did it finish?
