 In 1948, Wright Morris published Home Place, a narrative with each page of text accompanied by a photograph on the facing page. The book was not particularly successful, and there have been few attempts at this form over the years. Wright Morris became successful as both a photographer and a writer and he writes about the two creative disciplines in his book Time Pieces - Photographs, Writing and Memory. (Aperture, 1999)

Dory Adams is a writer and photographer who explores the relationship between pictures and words in her blog In This Light. Each week Dory writes about writers, writing, books and photography. In a recent post titled Photographs as Family Story, for example, she  talks about how family photographs inform and expand the story of  one's family over the years. As lovers of both image and the written word, Dory Adams and Wright Morris would have found plenty to talk about together.
