As touchpads and keyboards slowly edge pens and pencils from our daily routines, an effort is underway to preserve the handwritten word. This is one excerpt from Ecriture Infinie, a global art project created by Bili Bidjocka to catalog the diverse handwriting styles of each participant. Intrigued? You can upload your own sample and be part of the project—but to do so, of course, you’ll need a keyboard.

I’ve been spending a lot of time immersed in the blog companion to Pictory Magazine, whose mission is to tell stories through pictures and captions. The result is a beautiful preservation not just of an image, but of a meaningful context, bringing you that much closer to the subject, photographer and experience.
Here’s the caption for the photo above:
“My 88-year old father-in-law took himself for his first manicure & pedicure last week. I noticed his hands looked different and can only imagine the faces of the ladies when he walked in. All 6’3” of him. He wears the apron to keep his clothes clean as he’s a widow and laundry is his responsibility, now. From the looks of it, the apron is working.”
