Urban Wordscapes is a new website featuring wordscapes - picture-story combinations that convey the author’s impressions about a city. Started by two native San Diegans who love art and travelling, Urban Wordscapes features stories of cities that are inspired by photographs from city travels. “No matter how visually attractive (or complex), a picture is still a static representation of an event,” the founders say. “A written story takes the reader through time and space, but lacks visual appeal. A wordscape combines the best of both worlds – a compelling visual image attached to a gripping story.” The site is interactive, allowing you add your own photos and stories to its ever-growing collection of wordscapes.
